After a year of work, the Pace Truck is almost complete. To date, the truck is one of the most unique and noticed trucks of it's kind. It serves as our Flagship, promoting our photo service, and our sponsors. It also currently serves as the Official Pace Truck at Varney Motor Speedway.
One of the unique features of the truck is that most of our sponsors have participated in designing, building, and servicing the truck.
The truck is a 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 Extended Cab SLT Short Box 4X4. It's many features include, a custom designed full body vinyl image wrap, Custom 20" Zinik Rims & Tires, Stainless Steel Dual exhaust, A.R.E. Tonneau cover with Custom Tailfin. Custom designed lighting system, for use as a pace truck, plus show lighting. On the track, she paces with the assistance of an LED 48" Tow Light Bar, 24" LED Traffic Bar, & StreetGlow Head & Tail light Strobes. For show, she also has complete multicolored underside lighting and interior multicolored lighting.
We could never have completed the truck without the generous assistance and support of our sponsors. Truckers Toy Store, has provided, installed and serviced, many of the lighting and custom products on the truck. Morrow's Automotive Sales and Service, in Walkerton & Chesley, who has been providing us with trucks & SUV's for many years. They have also done all servicing & body work on the pace truck. ImageWraps.ca, who worked hand in hand, with us, to create one of the most unique designs ever. Morry's Trailer Sales, who have provided us with our support trailer. We are also sponsored by Outback Sports in Hanover.
Special thanks to Varney Motor Speedway, who welcome us every week as their official pace truck.
We usually update the photo site on Monday or Tuesday of every week.

Clearing The Air
Lately, there
has been
much confusion regarding our photo site & the pace truck. Hopefully this will help clear things up.
The pace truck is owned and operated by T.W. Robarts Photos, and is not owned in any way by the track.
T.W. Robarts Photos is an independant service. Photos are sold via our website and our on-site photo booth. As part of the agreement, Varney Motor Speedway has access to our photos for promotional use only.
T.W. Robarts Photos retains the exclusive rights to all photos we take.
The official Varney Motor Speedway website is not associated to us in any way. We do not post photos on this site, and the copy & use of any of our photos from their site, is not permitted, without our expressed permission.
The Pace Truck
It has been a long haul to get here, but the pace/promo truck is almost complete. The project has been almost 2 years of work & planning. If you have been to a race in 2009, at Varney Speedway, chances are you have already seen the truck. Adorned with emergency LED lights, Signal Strobes, and the trademark "Blue" underside lighting, the truck rolls out the start of most races at Varney.
On July 18th, we will, finally roll out the finished, imaged wrapped, fully sponsored, truck, to Varney drivers and fans. We are very excited about the completed project.
Most people don't know, but they will, T.W. Robarts Photos is the official sponsor of the late model class at Varney, but also, we have 4 sponsors on the truck, who are also co-sponsors to the class.
Aside from track duties, you may also see the truck at many special events, such as parades and car shows, year around, promoting, our service, the track, and our sponsors.
