Lafrance Performance Clients Shine at Super DIRT Week XLII in Syracuse New York; Brockville Speedway Finale Coming up This Weekend

For the past 42 years, Super DIRT Week in Syracuse, New York has matched the best against the best from all over the Northeast. This season was no exception and Lafrance Performance was proud to be part of it this year, with several clients using Lafrance Performance power in the biggest event of the season.

The first on track session of the week came on Thursday afternoon with 358 Modified time trials, and Chris Raabe set the 2nd fastest time of the day, winning the outside pole award for the 358 Modified division at the New York State Fairgrounds. Action moved to Brewerton Speedway on Thursday night for a 100 358 DIRTcar Series event, and Mario Clair set fast time with his Lafrance Performance powered Small Block Modified. Clair won his qualifying heat race and mixed it up inside the top five for a good part of the feature before the tires faded and finished 13th.

Saturday at the Fairgrounds was ¾ of a lap away from being a very special day, as Billy Dunn dominated the last segment of the Salute to the Troops 150 at Syracuse. On the final lap of the race, going into turn one, the fuel cell ran dry in Dunn’s Lafrance Performance powered car and the win slipped away. Fortunately for Dunn, redemption was sweet, and he won Sunday’s NAPA 200 in his Big Block car. Alain Boisvert drove to an impressive third place finish in Saturday’s event. Mario Clair finished the race in 13th, while Yan Bussiere and Chris Raabe both suffered mechanical issues and were not able to finish the event.

This coming weekend marks the final weekend of the season for racing in this area. Lafrance Performance would like to wish all of our clients success as the curtain closes on a stellar season.

Mario Clair and Chris Raabe Claim Track Championships in 2013 With Lafrance Performance Power Under The Hood

Lafrance Performance has had several solid weeks in a row through the second half of the season with multiple feature winners, often more than one throughout out any given weekend. Although there were no race winners this weekend, we are very happy to report that Mario Clair and Chris Raabe are champions at RPM Speedway (Raabe) and Cornwall Speedway (Clair).

Autodrome Granby had their championship decided by Mother Nature on Friday night, leaving Alain Boisvert third place overall in the point standing to finish the season. He was just nine points out of first place, going into the final night, but rain washed away and chance for a shot at the track championship.

Mario Clair posted a strong fourth place finish at Mohawk Raceway on Friday night, while Raabe ended up in eighth place. Raabe ended up third in points at Mohawk, while Clair ended in fifth place overall. Clair also finished the Frenchie’s “Chevy Runs Deep” Modified Series in fourth place, while Raabe finished fifth. Clair also finished fourth at Autodrome Drummond on Saturday night, finishing out the year second overall in the championship chase.

The 2013 track championship came down to Clair vs. Raabe in the final stages at Cornwall Speedway, but misfortunes for both drivers almost had the title slip away from both drivers. Brake failure on Clair’s car, and a late race incident for Raabe caused major concern, but Clair had accumulated enough points throughout the year to capture the championship.
