Mark Burbridge, the 2005 & 2007 Oktoberfest Late Model champion, picked up the season-opening Thunder Car victory at Flamboro Speedway this past Saturday, holding off a last lap charge from Nick Troback. The win marked the first for Burbridge since the veteran moved back to the Thunder Car division in 2011.

The Brantford, ON driver intends to run the full Flamboro Thunder Car season, updates can be found on the team’s website. In Mini Stock action, perennial favourite Rob Hoskins (below) won in dominating fashion, leading multi-time champion Dave Bailey and Mini Stock mainstay Billy Schwartzenburg across the stripe.

KIRK HOOKER: Former ALSTAR Super Series champion Kirk Hooker (above) has returned his Late Model to race-ready shape, after an uncharacteristically rough trip to New Smyrna’s World Series of Asphalt in February. A violent impact on the 9th and final night of racing left Hooker’s McColl Racing Enterprises chassis with a front clip bent beyond repair, a damaged frame rail and a rear-end in 2 pieces.
