The 2009 Mac’s "Froster 50", the
Premier race with the Biggest purse ($10,000.00) in Canada
is in the books for another year and what a race it was. #17 Mac's
Convenience Stores sponsored car of Ira Laughy won the race for the
third time in four years. But the biggest story of the race was #22
Rick Walls who ran the race of his life and won the Pro Division and
was 2nd to Ira Laughy. #32 Adam Gilbert was 4th overall and won the
Semi Pro Division in only his 2nd year of racing.
Another young racer who was making his Legends racing debut, 15 year
old Dex Hucal another ex Kart racer from Edmonton, won the Young
Lions Dash for Cash in his #81. He then went on to win the B-Main,
and finished 12th overall in the A-Main on the lead lap. WOW !!!!!!
The Mac’s "Froster 50" race attracted 33 racers from Western Canada,
and the A- Main featureD the top 28 legend racers.
#17 Ira Laughy was the low qualifier and lead for 82 of the 83 Laps,
including the one that counted the most, the last Lap.
The start of the A-Main saw 33
Legend racers doing a 4 wide salute to the fans that drew a standing
ovation from the approximately 2000 fans in attendance.

Another Young Kart Racer Makes Big
Impression
The number of Legend racers that have
come from Karting continues to grow and #81 Dex Hucal from Edmonton,
Alberta Wow’ed all the racers at the
Mac’s Froster 50 in Saskatoon. Dexter finished 12th overall in his
first race in a Legend racecar and was 4th best of all the racers in
the Semi Pro division. He won the B-Main to earn his spot in the
A-Main as well.
Dexter has had alot of success racing Karts includeing a trip t the
World Karting Championships in 2008.
Give this kid some time to get used to
a Legend racecar which is entirely different than a Kart and who
knows how good he will be. Reminds us of another ex-Kart racer Randy
Thompson and we all know how good Randy was. |

Final Dirt Race of 2009
As we enter the last few
races of 2009 Rick Blanchette
wants to remind all of the racers of the fourth and
final Mike & Ikes Dirt Race of 2009 on September 26th at
RMRP
As this is the last race before we put the racecar away
for 2009, Rick and Legend Cars of Alberta invite all
those who have not tried the Dirt to come on out and
give it a whirl.
What a way to finish off the season if we could have 25
plus Legend racecars at the last Mike & Ikes Dirt race,
Guaranteed to put a big smile on your face, and a bunch
of dirt in your teeth! |

Road Course Race
The first ever Road Course race at
Stratotech Park in Fort Saskatchewan was a Huge Hit. 18 Legend
racers had big smiles on their faces as the first of what we hope
will be many more Road Course races for Legends came to an end. The
#29 of Aaron Freind held off #17 Ira Laughy to claim the overall
title and 1st place followed by Kyle Stevens in the #38 in third.
And in a terrific gesture by the racers $500.00 was given to James
Van Domselaar who on the night before raised $12,000 for his
families "Racing for the Cure" which was raising money for the
Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada in what has become an annual
event since James's wife Tamera's battle with cancer a couple of
years ago. It was great to see the racers donate to such a worthy
cause and it was also great to have James racing with us again and
pulling off an impressive 4th place overall in the process.
Also a Big Thank You needs to go out to Mark Stevens and Owen
Gilbert as they were the two that made this race possible. Hopefully
this race becomes part of the Chase for the Mac’s Cup in 2010. |

| New
Racer - Jason Fischer
He may not be the fastest
racer, he doesn’t have a big racing budget, but nobody's
smile is bigger when he gets out of his Legend racecar
than Jason's. Jason’s
effort’s paid off with his first win in the Legends
Trophy Dash at EIR a couple of weeks ago.
Each race he gets faster and each race he becomes more
competitive, it won’t be long before we see Jason
running with the fast guys in the A-Main.
Racers like Jason are the backbone of the Legend racing
series. |

| Thrills
Miller Turns 60
While the guys were racing
their Legend racecars at EIR, The guy they call
"Thrills" was busy celebrating his 60th Birthday Party.
And although he was having a good time he was also
keeping track of the racing activities at EIR, thanks to
Randi and her text messaging skills.
Hopefully Thrills Miller doesn't turn into Spills Miller
now that he is 60.
Here are a couple of
photos from the memorable event, including Wayne’s new
race track walker and his birthday cake.
A great time was had by all and Wayne can hardly wait
for his first pension cheque! |
