After some hot & heavy racing in the first round of the 1st Vintage
Road Race National Championships, at Shannonville Motorsport Park,
Ont., at the end of May. The second round at Shubenacadie Nova Scotia last
weekend has really bought out some of the top vintage racers in North America
to gain the honours of #1 plate in the Canadian Vintage National Series.
Some extremely exciting racing took place at the challenging East Coast
course and as a result several of the classes are now in hot contention
with only a few points between the leaders.
One of the most determined challenges is taking place between Canadian
racer Brian Henderson and veteran American Team Obsolete rider David Roper
in the 500 GP class. David Roper on this H1R Kawasaki was stretched
to the limit by Brian on his 450 Honda as they fought the whole race, with
David taking the chequered flag and Brian finishing 2nd.
David Roper is also in a great dice for the 250 GP title against long
time VRRA racer Stan Nicholson, who riding his lovely little Greeves Silverstone,
David pipped Stan to the post, winning the race, but Stan’s 2nd keeps
him in the lead in the Series by just one point. David was
riding a beautifully prepared Ducati loaned to him by David Tatlock after
his Velo seized in practice.
Other close races took place in the Supervintage Middleweight Class
between East Coast local Jim Pentecost and visitor ‘from Away’ & first
time rider at the track, Brian Henderson with Jim taking the win &
lead by 3 points in the National Vintage Series. The 350 GP class
saw Erik Green of Team Obsolete and Ken Livingstone of the VRRA dicing
it out for the lead.
All this exciting racing comes down the wire on the weekend of August
20th at Mosport Park Ont. As the new owner Panos welcomes the final event
in the first Canadian National Vintage Series.
