Pour ce pilote qui n'avait que 15 ans au début de la saison 2018, cette première saison aura servi à se «faire la main» et apprivoiser la Honda préparée par son paternel.

"We turned a lot of heads in 2018 and our drivers are looking to pick-up where they left off," said Randy Hollingsworth, who along with Rick Warnes and Bill Pickford make up the OMRS group of officials. "Since this series began in 2010, the emphasis has been on parity and that has helped create a level playing field at every event." Hollingsworth prepares and maintains his own equipment, as well as the car of his granddaughter, Willow Barberstock. The Stirling, Ontario area runner – who finished 9
