Daryl had an incredible time competing with the Forbes Chev Olds team in Targa Newfoundland (September 9-16th). Targa Newfoundland is a 2200km asphalt rally, divided into 5 legs and 36 stages. Seventy-one cars participated in this year’s event. Daryl and his navigator, Troy Webb, finished the race 4th in their class and 18th overall, and earned a Targa plate for finishing all stages within the challenging Class 9 times. A significant achievement, especially for their first time competing in the event- and they brought the car home undamaged!
Daryl returned to Halifax early Saturday morning, tired, but eager to race in the Maritime Pro Stock Tour season finale at Riverside Speedway. The crew had worked hard in Daryl’s absence getting the car ready to race and had done a great job: Daryl won the 12-lap Semi, earning him a starting position in the feature race. The 66 ran well in the feature, finishing 11th in a field of 32 cars.
Daryl finished the season 14th in overall points and third in the hard charger standings. After a 2 week break, the team will be back in the garage, getting ready for 2007. The 66 car will be getting an upgrade to a 2006 body style and some work to the front end.
