Chris Raabe has set the bar high already in 2013, earning three feature wins at Evans Mills Speedway before other local tracks had opened. With a win at Mohawk Raceway this past Friday night, Raabe extended his perfect season with four in a row. Although the streak ended Saturday at RPM Speedway, Raabe drove his Lafrance Performance powered car to a pair of second place finishes.
Raabe wasn’t the only winner this weekend with Lafrance Performance power under the hood, as Daniel Nadeau won his first 358 Modified feature, taking the checkered flag over Raabe. Nadeau also had a top ten finish in the second of two twin 30 lap features at Autodrome Granby on Friday night.
Other high finishing Lafrance Performance clients include Gino Clair with a 6th place finish in one of the Granby events, as well as a pair of top five finishes at Le RPM Speedway, finishing 5th in the first 50 lap race, and 3rd in the second 50 lap feature. Alain Boisvert was also impressive at Granby, posting finishes of 3rd and 5th, while Yan Bussiere had a solid 7th place finish. Mario Clair set fast time on the night at Le RPM on Saturday and won his qualifying heat race.
