Tommy Shannon and Ken Lupton starred at the Brookville Regatta

The Campivallensien pilot had previously won 2 qualifications (1A, 2C) as well as winning 2^H Location (3a).

In the final, Shannon made a perfect start in the inside lane and never looked back behind the wheel of the Henderson-designed car. “Dognasty,” which deliberates in memory of Mathieu Daoust, who died in Brockville on June 30, 2019, beat out another camouflage forgetfulness, Marc Lecompte (Gestion Unick H-104) and local favorite Tyler Kadatz (H-1). Eric McKenna (La Bête Noire H-999) and Richard Henault (Novo H-2) finished 4th^H and 5^H respectively.

Michael Tremblay (H-8) and fellow Brockville runner Kent Henderson (H-519) thought they could make it to the podium after crossing the finish line in 2^H and 3^H Boxes. However, they were returned to 6^H and 7^H Stops due to penalties for changing lanes before starting.
