Lafrance Performance Drivers Reign Supreme With Multiple Victories This Weekend; Etienne Girard’s First Career 360 Sprint Car Win Earns Performer of the Week Honors

The past few weeks have seen many Lafrance Performance clients take their car to victory lane, but none of those weeks have been as impressive as this week. Lafrance Performance powered cars visited victory lane at three different tracks throughout the region this week, as well as several other top finishes.

On Friday night, Chris Raabe returned to Victory Lane at Mohawk International Raceway, finishing two positions ahead of fellow Lafrance Performance client Mario Clair. The wins continued at Autodrome Granby on Friday night as well, with Alain Boisvert taking the checkered flag in the Modified feature and Etienne Girard winning his first ever Sprint Car A-Main.

Saturday night was also a big night for Lafrance Performance, as Chris Raabe claimed the 2013 Track Championship at RPM Speedway. Raabe finished third in both main events on Saturday night, while Mario Clair had a win and a second place finish.

Etienne Girard completed his solid weekend on Sunday at Cornwall Speedway with a solid sixth place result. This strong finish, along with his first career win on Friday night earns him the Lafrance Performance performer of the week award.

This coming weekend is championship weekend throughout the area with several big events coming up. Good Luck to all Lafrance Performance clients this weekend.

Lafrance Performance Returns to Victory Lane at Autodrome Drummond With Mario Clair; Another Solid Effort Earns Clair Performer of the Week

The last few weeks have been epic for Lafrance Performance and their growing list of clients. Several have found victory lane at various tracks, such as Mohawk International Raceway, Autodrome Granby, Autodrome Drummond and Cornwall Speedway. This week it was Mario Clair navigating his Lafrance Performance powered Modified to victory lane at Autodrome Drummond on Saturday night.

Clair had a great weekend in fact, placing second after leading several laps on Friday night at Mohawk Raceway. He also took over the point lead at Cornwall Speedway with a top ten finish as well. Clair is on the top of the standings at Drummondville also. Chris Raabe is second in points at Cornwall to Clair, with just one race remaining, leaving the possibility of a Lafrance Performance sweep of the top two positions.

After his win at Autodrome Drummond on Saturday night and his second place finish at Mohawk Raceway and a top ten finish at Cornwall Speedway, Mario Clair once again earns bragging rights this week as Lafrance Performance top performer of the week.

Lafrance Performance Continues to Provide Race Winning Power Throughout the Region; Chris Raabe Returns as Performer of the Week

The proof is in the numbers with Lafrance Performance clients continuing to appear in the winner circle on a regular basis throughout Ontario and Quebec. This past week it was Chris Raabe taking his Lafrance Performance powered small block to victory lane at Cornwall Speedway.

Not only did Raabe win at Cornwall, he also continues to set the pace at RPM Speedway in St. Marcel, Quebec, posting third place finishes in both of the twin 40 lap events on Saturday night. Following Raabe across the finish line in the second 40 lap race was Gino and Mario Clair, both with Lafrance Performance power under the hood of their cars. Mario Clair also finished second to Raabe at Cornwall on Sunday night.

Without a doubt, Chris Raabe reclaims the title of Lafrance Performance performer of the week with his win at Cornwall and podium finishes at RPM Speedway. Congratulations on a great weekend!!
