For most of the 100 drivers on site at the Kart-o-Mania's Montréal facilities, the 4 Heures Pole-Position are the perfect occasion to chill with fellow motorsport enthusiasts. For Paul Heng, it’s serious business.
Together with his teammates St-Laurent/Pochyla/Lafontaine, he drove to a record sixth win at the annual event.
Val Racing – led by stock-car’s own Valérie Chiasson – hinted early in the race they would also be in contention for the win, but their foray didn’t last.
2009 Canadian Touring Car Championship rookie of the year Alex Healy helped his team to a podium finish.
