Courtey of PBSS
WOODSTOCK, ON – Bob McDonald started his racing career on a motorcycle, then raced in several classes of cars, 
and has returned to racing a bike where he will be a competitor in the new Pro Bike & Sled Series for drag racing.
“I find it more economical to go fast on a bike,” he said. “It’s also easier on the wallet and a lot easier to work with a bike at the race track.
“And I think this new series will be exciting and let me go back to my bike roots.”
McDonald has raced for several decades, first on a dirt bike. He then went asphalt oval track auto racing, competing in the Can-Am Midget series, and then raced a Late Model at Delaware Speedway in Western Ontario. He also had a stint two years ago behind the wheel of a Sprint Car, racing on the clay ovals with the Southern Ontario Sprints.
