 The 2009 Southern Ontario Sprint tour headed to Brighton Speedway for the second time in the young season. For a change the weather was nice and the forecast was clear.
As Dick unloaded the car he and son Warren knew it could be a long evening ahead as neither team had crew members available due to other commitments. Little did they know what a long evening it would be for them. The #79 started the evening off with a 4th place finish in his 8 lap qualifier.
In the 20 lap main event things got wild off the drop of the green flag. The #42w of Rick Wilson spun in corner two causing a multi-car pileup. Involved with Wilson were Jamie Collard and both Dick and Warren Mahoney. While Warren would go on to make repairs, Dick was forced out of the event for the night. He would be credited with a 15th place finish which keeps him locked in the 9th place in SOS points after three rounds.
Dick and the #79 team will continue their 2009 campaign as the Southern Ontario Sprints head to Brighton Speedway on Saturday July 11th for Round #4. Race time in Brighton, Ontario is 7pm.
