Role at Riverside: Racer

Dave Gorveatt raced at Riverside Speedway during the MASCAR era – in which he was the series 1997 champion.

He started racing in 1986, honing his driving talents at Raceway Park not far from his home in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. He moved to MASCAR in 1991 and captured his first series win in 1997 en route to the series title – which he captured by a mere three points over second-place Scott Kelly – still the closest point battle in the Maritime touring series history.

He also remains the first and only “Islander” to win a Maritime touring series title.

In 2001 Dave Gorveatt shifted his focus from Maritime race tracks to compete on the New England-based PASS SLM tour – where he won a feature in May 2002; he raced with PASS until his retirement from driving in 2006.

Dave Gorveatt was inducted in the Maritime Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2010.
