Waterbury, VT – After what was by anyone’s standards a disappointing 2010 season for long-time American Canadian Tour (ACT) veterans Jean-Paul Cyr and Brent Dragon, both from Milton, VT, both expect the opening event of the season at Lee USA Speedway on Sunday, April 17, 2011 to be a chance to get things turned into a positive change of direction.
Cyr is a seven-time ACT Champion and saw his long-standing championship record tied by Brian Hoar from Williston, VT in 2010. Cyr returned to ACT racing after taking a year to compete at Thunder Road Speedbowl in Barre, VT in 2009. He won the King of the Road title that season. He had a slow start coming back to the ACT at the beginning of 2010, and by his own admission was really never a contender.
