2009 Race Season
This year the talk is to go for the number 1 plate. This would include all of the race schedule put out by the SRA East. Last year Jean-Guy and Steve managed to make 4 of the 6 double header races. By missing 2 of the double headers, Jean-Guy and Steve still managed to come in second in the points standing. By adding the additional two races this year and with no unforeseen problems the team is poised to go after the title.
Majority of the races will be run at Shannoville Motorsport Park near Belleville, ON. Shannonville has four different track layouts for sidecar racing and the SRA East is planning to schedule their races on three of Shannoville's track layouts.
The Fabi Circuit is the shortest track chosen for the race schedule and runs a length of 2.23 Km. It is a flowing track with technical corners which require precise entry and exiting in order to execute and come out ahead of the competition. This is where Jean-Guy excels.
The Pro Track adds on a couple more hundreds of meters making it a length of 2.47 Km. It is a fast perimeter circuit which includes 6 right hand corners and 3 lefts.
The Long Track is the final track chosen for the race schedule at Shanonville Motorsport Park and is the longest. It measures in at 4.03 Km making it the most demanding and toughest on the racers. It was designed with 14 corners which will test the skills of each driver.

The only other race scheduled at a different venue for 2009 will take Team CSR to West Virginia at Summit Point Motorsport Park. CSR will be running on the Summit Point Circuit which is the longest of the three tracks which Summitt Point Motorsports offers.
It will also include a double header weekend with racing on the Saturday and Sunday. It has a 2900 foot straight, 400 feet of elevation change, and has challenging high-speed turns.
