 The
2009 Southern Ontario Sprint headed west for their
final visit of 2009 to the South Buxton Raceway in
Merlin, Ontario. After one of their better outings of
the season Mahoney Racing got back to action again
with three cars on the track.
Jim Munsie again
piloted the 9J in action for his second career sprint
car start. Dick and Jim both started the evening in
the second 8 lap qualifying heat. Dick finished 4th
while Jim finished in the 7th position.
In the 20 lap main event Dain Naida won from the
outside pole in a race that went caution free. Dick
drove his #79 to a 12th place finished while Jim came
home 14th. The finish for the 'Pig' moved him into 7th
in SOS points with just two events remaining. Adam
West moved ahead of Justin Martin for the top spot in
the overall standings and now leads Martin by 4
points. Warren Mahoney sits third just 30 markers
back.
Dick and the #79 team will continue their 2009
campaign as the Southern Ontario Sprints head back to
Brighton Speedway on Saturday, September 5th and
Sunday, September 6th for the season ending SOS Labour
Day Classic Weekend.
