Carlo a good finish

MOSPORT, ONTARIO  Brad LeLiever and the Barrie Honda/Georgian Pontiac 
/Thermoseal Industries Monte Carlo paid there first visit to Mosport 
International Speedway on Saturday night for round 5 of the Ontario Pro 
Challenge Series.

"This is a much faster track," LeLiever said. "And both ends of the 
racetrack are very different. It will take some getting used to."

In the heat race, LeLiever lined up second on the grid, but he got hung on 
the outside. "It was frustrating not to be able to get to the bottom of the 
racetrack," LeLiever said. "Then I missed a gear, and that sent me to the 
back." The result was a ninth place finish. The team made some changes to 
the Barrie Honda/Georgian Pontiac /Thermoseal Industries Monte Carlo and 
things were looking good for the feature.

After a lengthy autograph session for the Fan Appreciation Night, LeLiever 
was once again ready to battle. "I was just amazed at the number of fans 
that came up to the Barrie Honda/Georgian Pontiac /Thermoseal Industries 
Monte Carlo for autographs. They are all so passionate about the sport, and 
it is great to be able to spend a few minutes talking to them."

In the feature, LeLiever had a strong run going, moving up to sixth, and at 
the tail end of the lead battle, when a passing move went a little wrong. 
"I tried to go to the inside, and like at Flamboro earlier in the year, a 
little contact sent me into a spin," LeLiever said. "I will say we are 
really learning a lot about the series, and all the other teams have been 
great about helping us get up to speed. This is a great group to race with, 
and I am really happy to be in this series. It was a great move for our 
Holgate Motorsports team."

With his night's points, LeLiever is comfortably eighth in the championship 
points.
