The old rain bug finally caught up with us on Saturday night. We had a run of five races with no rain, which is super good, and Saturday we had to pay the piper. Hopfully we got it out of the way and the Memorial Day weekend event will be good.
I am a grandfather who in his younger days raced hydroplanes. I was fairly successful in the smaller boats winning one national championship and three high point championships.
My grandson Connelly Dubuisson and I started attending the auto races at Sunny
South Raceway in Grand Bay Al. After attending several races, the Bandolero class caught our eye as a logical starting place for us. I purchased a used car in the fall of '08 and got ready for the '09 season.
Connelly is currently a sophmore at Brother Martin High School in New Orleans, LA. His other interests include Saints football and fishing.
His first race was June 20, '09, with the highlight of the season coming in the last race of the year when Connelly made a 3 wide pass in turn 3 to go from 5th to 3rd which is where he finished.
In the 2010 season Connelly won the Sunny South Raceway track championship in the Bandeloro Division. His record includes 8 first place finishes, and 3 seconds out of 14 races.
In 2011 he moved up to the Legend Division in the Young Lions class. We brought him along slowly and by the end of the season he began to show some results. In his first year of Legends racing he managed to capture third place in the Sunny South Raceway points despite missing two races.
For 2012 we have totally gone through the car, put a brand new engine in it and thus far has had moderate success with one win 3 seconds and 3 third place finishes. Connelly is curently in third place in the track points with three races to go.
