There was so much action on Day 9 of the 2024 Hemmings Motor News Great Race presented by Coker Tire that we had to split it up into multiple posts. Here, we'll see action from a challenging Stage 9 course, filled with quick turns, and a classic John Classen maze that sent racers zooming all over the back roads in different directions. By noon, most of the rallying was over for the day, and racers grabbed lunch and stopped for a quick visit to a private car collection before rolling into the finish line. The challenging course was a piece of cake for the father-and-son Fredette team. Jeff drove the wheels off his 1933 Ford pickup truck, while Eric calculated the maneuvers and speed changes in a precise manner. Jeff and Eric Fredette won Stage 9 with a score of 4.89 seconds, a time that would position them in fourth place overall at the finish. Speaking of the finish, we'll have a separate post with fun photos from the finish line in beautiful Gardiner, Maine. It was one for the record books!
