- Alain Bergeron and his team were competing with
the Patriot Sprint Tour series Saturday night at Brockville Ontario and
despite a horrible draw, he was able to limit the damages. Following the
draw, it is from last place that he had to made the start in his heat race.
He finished fifth, that brought him in the DASH. So, for the DASH four laps
race, he was fifth on the starting grid and he passed the checkered in
third. In the A-Main race, the task was far from being easy. Eleventh at the
start with a track condition offering few passing, it is in seventh place
that the Canadian driver completed the race.7/21
