Vallee-Jonction, Quebec – Joey Doiron and the #73 Wild Willy’s Burthers race team traveled north of the international border this past weekend to one of Doiron’s favorite tracks, the tight ¼ mile bullring Autodrome Chaudiere for the Pro All Stars Series North “Frameco 150.” After overcoming many adversities, Doiron finished the night with the runner up trophy.
The eventful day started in practice, when the oil pump went sour in the 73 machine, forcing the team to retire their backup car. Doiron stepped into the backup car for DJ Shaw just in time for the final practice session to get a few laps in the car.

Kate Re of Lovell, ME is one of the new Lady Young Guns racing in the Jr. Sportsman Series at Richmond Karting Speedway (RKS). RKS is a popular, family-oriented track where fans can watch and cheer on their favorite driver. After finishing her race, Kate had this to say: “I LOVED racing at RKS, it was fun. I like the banking and the straight ways.”
Last race season, Kate raced karts at Oxford Plains (OPS). I asked Kate how does RKS compare to OPS? Kate replied, “I like the straight ways because they are fast.
