‘Wild’ Willy Northcott has been fast all four races, posting four podium finishes. He ran into motor issues at Peterborough, but will look to bounce back strong this weekend after scoring a third place finish at Grand Bend in July.
Wally Wilson will make his sixth career start, hoping to build upon his fourth place finish at Grand Bend earlier this year.
Glen Blaker will hope to have a strong run this weekend after finishing in the top-eight in each of his three starts, including a fifth place feature finish at Grand Bend in July and his first heat win at Flamboro.
