Carey Terrance left the banquet with the Jiffy Auto Service Modified Championship trophy after an epic battle with Stephane Lafrance throughout the season. As a great consolation prize, Lafrance won the Canadian Nationals championship while Chris Raabe captured the Doiron Engineering Cup Heat Championship. Terrance and Lafrance had great season with Terrance finishing second to Lafrance in the Canadian Nationals as Lafrance finished only 2 points behind Terrance in the track championship. Other modified drivers that were honored were Raabe, Brian McDonald and Laurent Ladouceur in the point’s title while McDonald also received an award for this third place in the Doiron cup as Mario Clair was the other recipient finishing third in the Canadian Nationals.

Stephane Lemire won the Mohawk Race Parts Series in front of Lebrun and Roy. Bissonnette also won the heat championship sponsored by RSI Industrial Supply in front of Lebrun and Roy.

Two important awards were given during the evening as Ron Morin Award was offered to Louie Jackson for all his contribution in the sport, he has been around for the track for many year, as a fierce competitor in the Pro-Stock ranks, he always helped other teams financially or physically as he opened a speed shop for his colleagues. With his son Louie Jackson Jr, in the Sportsman, we know that Louie will still be a nice presence at the speedway for years to come.

The Mitch Jock Memorial Award of Merit was given to Brian Mulligan, being in the motorsports for an outstanding 51 years, part of three Hall of Fame and a fourth one later on this year. Track announcer since 1982 in Cornwall, Mulligan has also been involved in other functions helping his peers along the way. A well-deserved award for Brian!
