A season in review.Well,The rain cancelled Saturday night's action and the decision was made to run Sunday. Not too sure why. A rain out is a rain out and we never made up the other two we had this season.Anyway, I may be a little pissy because I could not make it back to call the action on what was an absolutely full card of racing.Thanks to Bobby Z who took over the mic for me. Not sure how that went over but, I'm sure I'll get all the details this weekend.I am hoping to post a race report but, wanted to wish our track champions a hearty congratulations and thank all the drivers for your commitment to not only Varney Motor Speedway but to grassroots Stock Car Racing. If it weren't for you, Saturday nights would be hollow.2010 Stock 4 Champion - #51 Clark HartmanClark, nice job backing up last year's title and making it three straight! The feature race wins may not have been as plentiful as they were in the past but, you were up front every night. Tim Tolton was on fire from midway through the season to the end as was Dennis Cremasco. If it weren't for early season woes, someone else's name might be on that championship trophy. Stock 4 continues to enjoy a good car count and next year looks like it will be a very competitve season for the division once again.Street Stock - #93 Bill ColeBill, you showed up every night and got out front. I think you only had trouble with the car once or twice but, always made it back. More importantly, you stayed out of the action off the track and left it all on the Speedway. The most feature wins this year in the Street Stocks and hardly ever finishing outside of the top three. That's what got you back on top. Congratualtions.Super Street Stock - #85 Matt ClarkeMatt, some will say that there should be an asterix beside this one due to the inconsistentcy with car counts in this division this year but, the fact remains, you showed up every single night when many of the others did not. Your loyalty to run Varney is much appreciated by staff and fans and, with your one feature race win this season, I would like to congratulate you on your deserved championship. It was not long ago that the Super Street Stock division was the highlight of the night. Let's hope we can get it back there.Late Model - #81 Chris Van DusenNice season Chris! You had an outstanding blend of consistent top finishes along with several feature wins. You matured as a driver all season long and I saw that a few weeks ago when you made that dive to the inside coming off of turn four to take the lead in the feature. Some may say Kamikaze but, I think you knew exactly where you were on that track, who was around you, how much room you had and, more importantly, you knew they trusted and respected you enough to let you make that move without wrecking you. One of the best racing moves i've ever seen come off of turn four at Varney. Almost unbeatable when you got out front, your sophmore season in a Late Model was one of the top stories at Varney this year. Congratulations on your championship.All Pro Modified - #34 Terry PardyTerry, what can I say...consistency paid off. You stayed upfront all year long, kept the car in one piece and even added a feature win on the season. Everyone knows how hard it is to take down the 8 car but, you may have exposed the chink in the armour as the Modifeids enjoyed one of their best seasons in recent years. That chink is consistency. Gary may have won the most but, he broke more than you did too. Congratulations Terry.Trains - Markdale Salvage CrushersBill and gang...nice job! You guys put on an awesome show every night and make no mistake about it, when the Trains aren't running, you can feel it in the grandstands. The Trains are definately a fan favourite whether you are a regular at Varney or a first-timer. This year, the racing was close, exciting and most of all thrilling to watch. I'm sure the fans are looking forward to next year.Not to be overshadowed, don't forget that the track itself went through a major transfomation last year in the off-season. The new configuration was almost an afterthought three weeks into the year. We never really thanked or acknowledged the work that the McLellans do; and continue to do; at Varney Motor Speedway. I do not know of two more down-to-earth people than Ken and Joan McLellan. They quietly go about their business doing what; at the end of the day; is best for the fans and best for the drivers. You can complain about anything if you really wanted to but, seriously, what can you complain about two people that just want happy race fans and happy drivers and continue to go out of their way to make sure that happens. Thanks Ken and Joan for keeping Varney real!Fundraising at the track never ceases to amaze me. Through the 50/50 draws, Women On Wheels raised thousands of dollars that are being channelled back into the community including the over $7000.00 raised for Brea...
