1994 was the beginning of my first derby car � a Chevy Nova. Not the greatest car. We built it with durabond and I think the first hit we had cement everywhere!

1995 �The Early Years�
This car came from the wreckers - it wasn't the greatest either. We lost the drive shaft at this derby and finished in second place. We were still learning at this point.

1996 Mohawk Derby
We ran a full-size Ford wagon. This car folded �hi to the sky�. Here's a snapshot of myself, and one of our key sponsors � Steve from �Steve and Anne's Pet Stuff�.
Thanks Steve!

1997 was a fun, hard hittin' derby � as you can see! There's not much left of this one and we only ran it once. I got some good bruises to show for it.

1998 the '67 Newport
1998

1998 was the year for the '67 Newport. We bought it for $100.00 without a motor or tranny. We rebuilt it from the ground up. This had to be my favourite and the most exciting car we have ever run/built. It took lots of hard hits, rolled over once, standing straight on my nose. It was great! You gotta love derbyin'!!

The '67 Newport competed in 8 derbies before it finally died! Some of the local guys kept saying �Oh, S*$@, not you again!� - eh, Charlie (#81)?? We won 4 trophies, 2 for Sportsmanship. One was from the regional in Madoc and the other was from Tweed where I placed 2nd in the feature. This is where we retired this car. It had a 318, ran great, very strong southern car. Thanks Farmer �The Dodge Man�

1998 Front View 67 Newport Sportsman Trophy Front view of the '67 Newport. I think the teeth scared them away! The car beside me is good friend Charlie Way #81. He's a great competitor.

Here's one of my sportsman trophies � this one's from the Madoc derby. I believe receiving this was better than actually winning the feature. Not too many of these are given out.

Trophies Tweed, Ontario � We finished 2nd in the feature with the '67 Newport and also won my second sportsman trophy of the season. The trophy was a memorial for Shawn Hautenbach who was a fellow derby driver. His life was taken away too early by a tragic motor accident. He will always be remembered by our team.

2000

Here's one of our mini. In the background is the other �M� of M&M, my car builder Mark. He's a great guy, mechanic and my best friend. Not shown � we built a Mustang which won the Eastern Ontario 4 Cylinder Championship. I couldn't find the photo of car and trophy. We have to thank Rodney for all his help.

Impala September 2000 Kingston Exhibition
We ran a full-size Impala. Not much damage done so we'll be able to re-run it for the 2001 season�with some modifications.

Impala October 2000 Fall Slam � Kingston, Ontario
We placed 3rd in the feature with our 1978 Ford half ton. It ran great � good truck with a strong frame. This is where we learned what will have to be done in building our next truck for 2001.
We also ran a Volvo for the first time in the 4 cylinder mini class and placed 4th in the feature.
