LAVAL, QC, le 26 mai 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - Le ministère des Transports informe les usagers de la route de la mise en œuvre, dès le 1er juin, de travaux d'asphaltage des voies de desserte de l'autoroute 15, entre le boulevard Cartieret l'autoroute 440, à Laval. Réalisés de nuit afin d'en limiter les répercussions sur le réseau routier, ces travaux entraîneront des fermetures complètes des bretelles d'accès et de sortie de l'autoroute 15 ainsi que des voies de desserte. Ils nécessiteront également des fermetures complètes de la voie de desserte de l'autoroute 440 en direction est et partielles sur le réseau municipal.

Ces travaux, qui visent à améliorer le confort de roulement et la sécurité des usagers de la route, s'échelonneront du 1er juin à la mi-juillet. Lors des fermetures complètes, des chemins de détour balisés seront mis en place sur le réseau.

En cas de conditions météorologiques défavorables ou de contraintes opérationnelles, ces travaux pourraient être reportés ou annulés. Afin de planifier adéquatement vos déplacements, informez-vous sur les entraves en cours et à venir en consultant le Québec 511

Ces projets sont inscrits dans la liste des investissements routiers 2020-2022 de la région de Laval.

Le Ministère remercie les usagers de la route pour leur collaboration. Pour la sécurité des usagers de la route et celle des travailleurs, le respect de la signalisation en place est essentiel.

The Super Series Launches Its 2020 Revised Schedule

The Super Series Launches Its 2020 Revised Schedule

Shannonville (ON), May 25, 2020 – RACE Events Inc. is pleased to launch the 2020 revised calendar of the Super Series, the regional and most popular motorcycle racing series. Based on its originally planned calendar, the Super Series (formerly known as RACE) will hold three racing events and a test weekend, starting June 5, 2020.

As the Ontario COVID-19 restrictions slowly decrease, motorsports organizations were able to reopen and resume their activities.  Since the restrictions currently in place have a direct impact on how a race weekend timetable will be structured, patience and creativity are amongst the many qualities the team will need in order to conquer this challenge. The best strategy at this point will be to plan one event at the time.
 
Revised Schedule 2020
Friday, June 5 – Test Day
Saturday, June 6 – PreSeason Racing School
Sunday, June 7 – Test Day

Round 1 – July 17-19
Round 2 – August 21-13
Round 3 – September 18-20

With the strong determination of giving a face-lift to the series, Dominique Bondar, General Manager of RACE Events brings to the team a vast knowledge of racing and has assembled a team that will help her achieve her goal.  The PreSeason Racing School will also be managed by the team.
 
Louey Jabouri – Race Director
Taking on the role of Race Director, Louey brings a wealth of racing knowledge to the team with decades of experience in both motorcycle and car racing. As a former competitor in both fields, Louey is a perfect fit to lead the events as he has a deep understanding of the distinctiveness of motorcycle racing. 
 
David Grummett – Technical Director
David possesses all the qualities needed to be part of this team as Technical Director.  With over 30 years of experience as a riding instructor and many more as a competitor himself, he has won two Eastern Canada and one National Pro championships in addition to the Yamaha Cup track record at Shannonville. David was part of the series back in 1986 teaching the racing school and will be back at it again this year. Today, his professional life forces him to orbit around the motorcycle sphere and helps reveal his profound passion for that industry.
 
Jill Grummett – Chief Timing & Scoring
Jill, by accepting to take the role of the Chief Timing & Scoring, closes a long loop in the history of the series. Formerly managing the series herself and taking on almost all the responsibilities that came with the job, Jill comes back with a unique knowledge and tangible and very contagious enthusiasm.
 
Trevor Lamas – Official
Trevor joins the new team, bringing his years of experience as a series official. Trevor is also a series official with CTCC and has been for the past 8 years. He brings with him knowledge of different racing disciplines like drifting and open wheels.
 
William Kowalczyk - Official
Pro racer William Kowalczyk comes on board as Technical Scrutineer. New to the role of official, William wanted to help and stay involved.  This is a good example of what racers can do to give back to the sport. He is a perfect fit to take on what we hope will become a busy schedule.
 
Don Empey – Media Director 
Continuing as Media Director will be Don Empey who has covered the Super Series since 2004.  He has a vast knowledge of the series and with his fantastic personality was able to grow great relationships with the competitors over the years.

Anaïs Grenier-Chayer – Registrar
Anaïs is the first person the competitors will meet as she takes on the duty of registrar. Anaïs brings to the team a youthful exuberance and commitment to streamline the registration process. Much of the process will be modernized to web-based application.
 
The safety for all our competitors and staff is paramount and all restrictions will dictate our direction moving forward. We hope that competitors have a an enjoyable and satisfying experience after this long waiting period.

All competitors may register online on the Super Series website www.super-series.ca

Mohawk Int’l Raceway: DIRTcar Track Spotlight

Mohawk Int'l Raceway: DIRTcar Track Spotlight

Posted: 13 May 2020 11:21 AM PDT

HOGANSBURG, NY – On the land of the Mohawk Nation at Akwesasne sits one of the finest DIRTcar facilities in the Northeast, Mohawk Int'l Raceway. The smooth, wide track with excellent lighting and grandstands provide a premier race experience for both competitors and race fans. 

DIRTcar sanctions Hoosier Racing Tire Weekly Championship DIRTcar 358 Modifieds and Sportsman Modifieds at Mohawk which attracts top-flight talent from both New York and Canada. In addition to the track's point fund, each DIRTcar driver will have an opportunity to take home another check at the banquet in November. 

Some of the best DIRTcar 358 Modified drivers in the North Country battle it out on this border town track. Last year, Chris Raabe, the 29-year-old driver from Alexandria, ON, won the track championship over star drivers such as second-place points-getter Michael Maresca. Maresca is a threat to win anywhere he races including when he races with the Super DIRTcar Series. 

Down the line, DIRTcar 358 Modified Series contender Lance Willix, another second-generation driver Louie Jackson Jr., plus the legendary Watertown, NY native Tim Fuller are all regulars in the Mohawk pits. 

Tim Fuller is one of the all-time best around the Frogtown oval. In 2018 Fuller set the single-season win record with 10 trips to Victory Lane. Rain forced the schedule down to only 15 races and Fuller never finished lower than third to secure his second consecutive track championship. 

On Monday, July 13 the DIRTcar 358 Modified Series hits the four-tenths of a mile semi-banked high-speed oval for a crucial points-paying tour stop. Last year, Super DIRTcar Series champion Mat Williamson powered his way to the win in the series race, getting the jump on the best North Country drivers in the business. 

The 358 Series returns on September, 18 for the final round of action before NAPA Super DIRT Week kicks off at Utica-Rome Speedway. The points gathered at Mohawk are vital for going into the Super DIRT Week stretch of four races in five days in October.

Not to be outdone, the DIRTcar Sportsman Modified drivers at Mohawk put on a phenomenal show every Friday night. NAPA Super DIRT Week Chevy Performance 75 winner in 2018 Shane Pecore won the track championship last year ahead of rivals Thomas Cook, Zach Arquett, Brianna Ladouceur, and Ben Wheeler.

On September 19, the DIRTcar Sportsman North Region and Pro Stock Series makes a stop making for an action-packed fall weekend to bring down the curtain on the 2020 season.

The North Region for the DIRTCar Sportsman Series also will have a special Thursday event on June 25. It'll be tough rowing for Series regulars against the best of Mohawk's Hoosier Racing Tire Weekly Championship roster. 

Mohawk Int'l was born in 1987 as Frogtown International Speedway as a vision from Dennis White to build a race track on his hometown reservation.  

The speedway is right on the border of the US and Canada on New York State's northern border. Cornwall, Ontario is direct across from the St. Lawrence River. Cornwall Motor Speedway races DIRTcar 358 Modifieds and Sportsman every Sunday. 

On your trip, stop at the Frederic Remington Art Museum and peer into the American West with incredible paintings, sketches, and sculptures. It's a great place to stop with the family.

For wine lovers, the River Myst Winery is a great escape to treat your partner during your racing weekend. 

The 2020 Mohawk Int'l Raceway schedule has not been released but make sure to bookmark Mohawk's website and follow them on social media on Twitter and Facebook for updates.
