The local Team #8 racing squad hit the podium on Friday in the Enduro 200 event at Speedway 660 in Geary, N.B.

In the third and four position, Rheal Kenny, in his, #72 along with Bud Vallis in the 34c drove side-by-side for many laps, gaining only inches on one another at a time, with Kenny eventually making the podium.
