SCOTIA SPEEDWORLD: Whatever Dawson Noble is doing these days on race days, he should keep doing.
The driver of the no. 8 legend on the Cross Roads Cycle Maritime League of Legends Tour has won three straight feature races, including two on the CARSTAR weekly racing series in the Strictly Hydraulics Legends division at Scotia Speedworld.
On Saturday night, Noble had the best lap time of 15.766 around the track adjacent to Halifax Stanfield International Airport to capture the Schooner General Contracting 50.
It was the main under-card for the SummerClash 250 Pro Stock Tour race, which also included the Heart of a Champion hot rod classics.
Gage Gilby of Enfield was second and Nathan Blackburn of Halifax area came home in third in the exciting race, that came just a dozen or so hours after many had raced Friday night into Saturday morning in the weekly racing series at Scotia Speedworld.

Noble said he’s had many late nights in the shop after work at Nelson Hill Tire in Milford working to make the car better.
“I’ve been making small adjustments on the setup throughout the year as well to get the car to drive as good as I want,” said Noble in an interview with The Laker News.
He said the racing Saturday was rough, but him and Nathan Blackburn went toe to toe lap after lap and it was good.
“It’s the best feeling when you come out on top of the podium and was even better that I won the last three at Scotia,” he said.
