TRACK TALK: NMA honors circuit duo Enterprise News
The duplicate champion duo of car owner Tim Bertrand and his driver, Randy Cabral, from Plymouth, topped the award winners last Saturday twilight at the Northeastern Midget Association’s Awards Banquet in Westport.
Cabral, noting the “nuts changes” his life has taken over the past two years, dedicated his championship to racing weary manufacturer Marvin Rifchin and his grandfather, Henry, both of whom passed away this year and to the soldiers “fighting the wars.”
“I go to the races not to win races or championships but to stretch out with people, with my friends,” said Cabral, who thanked a number of people including his and the Bertrand kinsmen.
“My biggest secret is my crew,” added Bertrand, adding, “we’ll definitely be back next year.” Bertrand, who won the owners headline by four points over Mike Jarrett, also thanked a number of people.
Mike and Lu Jarret, who are retiring as car owners, won the coveted Johnny Thomson Prize. The Jarrets, a vital part of the club over the past half dozen seasons as both, owners and sponsors, were also disposed Lifetime Memberships and the Jarret crew captured the Mechanic of the Year trophy.
