A solid field of cars is expected at all the events with several cars travelling for western Quebec and Ontario. Drivers like Pierre Dagenais, Eric and Denis Gauvreau, Laurent Ladouceur, already confirmed their participation for the 2 races this weekend. Other drivers that have shown interest in making the haul down are Luke Whitteker, Stéphane Lafrance, Ryan Foley and Chris King. A few Brockville regulars could add to this field of potential travellers.
During these types of events, the drivers from the Eastern Quebec area have always showed some great support. David Hébert, Mario Clair, Kayle Robidoux, Yan Bussière, Clément Therrien, Michel Chicoine, Steve Bernard and others will lead the way and try to defend their home turf in the 2-race week-end battle.
A few items to heat up the series as all the drivers must qualify to be in the feature race, there is no guaranteed starter in this series, and this will add some action during the time trial sessions and heat races. Each feature will count for a spot for Super DIRT Week at Syracuse. The DIRTcar rules will be in effect with the right rear tire will be a HARD for all the events.
A great battle is expected this weekend at Autodrome Granby and Autodrome Drummond for the first edition of the Canadian Super Challenge. Who will win the 2010 edition? Please place your bet...
