Tim Norris Sweeps Ontario Pro Challenge Series Features at Flamboro Speedway

MILLGROVE, Ontario --- Even though Tim Norris has taken a new role with Flamboro Speedway as the Race Director, he has not forgotten how to get the job done behind the wheel in the process. He would open up the Ontario Pro Challenge Series season in style, sweeping the pair of features on Saturday night.


He wasted no time in the first feature, taking the top spot on Lap 8 and not looking back en route to the checkered flag. His son Mike Norris finished second, followed by Peter Hattin, Devon Rayment, and Emma Norris. Jae Peppin placed sixth, while Travis Majuery, Mike O’Connell, and Ethan Fleet failed to finish.


The second feature was a Norris family affair once again, with Mike Norris following his father Tim across the finish line once again. Peter Hattin was third in front of Devon Rayment, Travis Majuery, Jae Peppin, and Emma Norris, while Mike O’Connell and Ethan Fleet failed to finish.
