2007 BRP CanAm Series
Opener Saturday April 7
St. Catharines, ONT…The 2007
edition of the BRP CanAm Series will go green at 4PM on Saturday
April 7 at Black Rock Speedway in Dundee, NY. Dean Hoag will
open the gates at 2PM for a blockbuster Black Rock season opener
that will include the BRP CanAm Late Models, DIRTCar Sportsman, and
street stocks.
Race fans can look forward to a star studded BRP CanAm field that
will include a rich mix of touring BRP CanAm teams and Black Rock
racers. All have stepped up their programs in an effort to
stop Mr. Excitement – Jeremy Wonderling’s strangle hold on Black
Rock’s victory circle. Wonderling, a second generation race
car driver from Scio, NY, became a weekly racer at Black Rock last
year. It was love at first sight! He won ten times in weekly
competition, the 2006 BRP CanAm opener and the season ending $10,000
late model / super stock open at the fast Yates County race place.
Wonderling’s 2006 Shaw Grand Prix has been refurbished by Ed Carley
and has a belly full of a fresh Bill Campbell 360 Chevy. The
beauty is just off the car show circuit and ready to go to work.
Randy Hall, the 2006 BRP CanAm Champion and FOAR Score Driver of the
Year, has just reloaded his Joel Smith massaged CRS Camry with a new
[Jerry] Fox Race Engines built 360 Chevy. Hall has gone to Fox
in Indiana, PA in search of more fire power since he knows there are
a couple of dozen others that are anxious to wear the 2007 BRP CanAm
crown.
Larry Knowles is a former Black Rock champion who now focuses his
racing energy on the BRP CanAm Series. Knowles was runner-up
to Wonderling in the first Black Rock Series event and won his first
ever Series A-Main at Black Rock last September. Knowles’s CAT
Rental Stores 2006 CRS Monte Carlo is powered by a Ron’s Engine
Science piece. The Knowles race team has spend untold hours in
the shop during the “off season” prepping to improve on their third
place Series standings in 2007.
Black Rock weekly racers that have updated their stables with 360
late models in an effort to stop Wonderling and make some noise in
the Series include Quinn Sutherland, Bob Buono, and Sparky Hills.
Sutherland has a 2007 Lazer Monte Carlo out of Jim Bernheisel’s
Lebanon, PA. Buono has a Pro Speed Rocket Monte Carlo and
Sparky Hills has a 2007 CRS Monte Carlo.
A very solid core group of returning BRP CanAm teams, a star studded
group of about 20 Series rookies, and an anxious bunch of Black Rock
weekly racers should make for a great day at the races. Hold
on to your seats they are about to go green!
All of the race teams will have a chance to break in their new cars
and / or new engines in a practice session at Black Rock Speedway on
Friday April 6. Gates will open at 2PM and the track will open
at 6PM for practice night.
