In '95 he moved to Outlaw Micro Sprints at Wonderland Speedway outside London, ON. The need for more speed, partnered with some success would necessitate upgrading to a fullsize racecar in 1998. South Buxton Raceway would be the next stop in the UMP Modified class. He has called SBR. home for the majority of the past 12 seasons, with occasional trips to U.S. tracks. Racing the 2000 season solely south of the border at the famed Eldora Speedway along with other Ohio, Michigan and Indiana tracks. Since the birth of his daughter Sarah in '04, Chris has stayed closer to home with minimal U.S. travel. Focusing on SBR. for his weekly fix of racing. With mixed result and much success the next few seasons passed quickly. 08 was his highest finishing season, finishing second in the points chase, with the most checkered flags in class that year. The 2009-10 seasons were filled with huge highes and deep lows. Goals for next season are set high with focus on a Season Championship. It is his time!
