Race time

Full Throttle NASCAR (Canada) race team - Brad Graham (#19) with some Full Throttle models.

Brad Graham (#19) of the Full Throttle NASCAR (Canada) car poses with some of the sponsor reps during the Nascar Canadian Tire Series in Cayuga. My brother Joe is helping to cover the race with Inside Track Motorsport News Magazine. Brad is in the midst of a fan autograph session when Joe asks the Full Throttle girls to pose with Brad, reluctantly he agrees.

It was an exciting day of races with the Sportsman series also racing on Saturday. Bobby Allison, one of NASCAR's top drivers and Hall of Fame member, was on hand to welcome the drivers and meet with fans. Great racing, great crashing and some fireworks to finish the day after the win by Derek Lynch (#77).

Toronto Air Show

The Greenpeace ship the Artic Sunrise rests at Toronto Harbour

I continue my weekend adventure with Joe by heading into T Dot with the bikes to watch the Toronto International Air Show put on by the CNE. We pay $25 to park down along the lake front and we get the bikes in gear and head out towards the east side of the city.

Near the Toronto Police Marine Station along Queens Quay we find the Greenpeace ship tied up along the harbour running tours of their vessel. They had tried the previous day to block the delivery of coal to a generating plant with two Greenpeace activists getting arrested.

Fresh Style Joe Hamilton

I had to pose Joe in front of a sign along the Lakeshore Loblaws - "Fresh Style Joe." Usually Joe signs are bad with names like Crabby Joes!

The air show was nice - only the biplane gave us some heart racing excitement as his engine seemed to stall and flames lept out from his exhaust while he came very close to the waters of Lake Ontario. The crowd lept to it's feet thinking the plane was going to crash but it was only part of his show.

Acton Quarry Open House

Big dump truck in the Acton Quarry

Ann, Erin and Kevin stand beside the extremely large cat dump truck in the Dufferin Aggregates Acton Quarry during their open house. We were running late so we couldn't see alot of the stuff - like the tours, the old lime kilns and seeing the monster equipment demonstrations, but we still had fun. Here is Erin in the big wheel.

Erin was in the midst of her soccer playoffs so we quickly ran to the field so she could play. After a hard day of soccer her team came in second place - losing in a shoot-out after a tied finals game.

St. Alban's Church 135th BD

Acton's St Alban the Martry Church - 135th Anniversary. Looking towards the altar

Acton's St. Alban the Martyr Church celebrated it's 135th anniversary during a weekend of fun and parties. Reverend Mark Tiller is a great Rector and has a lively sense of humour, he also likes to act in local plays. The inside of the old church is all wood and really looks nice.

Train tracks in Acton

Railway tracks heading into the sunset, Acton, Ontario

The railway through Acton, Ontario at the Mill Street crossing. The sun has decided to set, much like summer as we start the fast road into winter. It is possible that a train station will be brought once again to Acton which will be good news for many.

This picture was taken near the old GO station which was located at the Olde Hide House.
