PETERBOROUGH, ON - Peterborough Speedway promoter J.P. Josiasse just stopped by the office with some exciting news for his track. According to Josiasse, he has an agreement with OSCAAR to host the 2005 edition of OSCAAR's Don Biederman Memorial race on the Saturday of the Labour Day Weekend (Sept. 3).
Last year, OSCAAR's version of the Biederman Memorial was held at Kawartha Speedway, after several years of being run at Flamboro Speedway. There was talk, at the time, that the race would move from track-to-track to give fans in different areas a chance to see the Biederman Memorial.
Josiasse said that promotion for the event will be done in conjunction with OSCAAR, and that efforts to build momentum for the event will start as soon as the Performance World Show, in March.
"Peterborough Speedway is the traditional home of the Super Late Models," said Josiasse. "So it's only right that a race of this size be held at Peterborough."
In addition to an OSCAAR SLM race at Peterborough in July, and the Biederman race on Labour Day, the OSCAAR tour will once again appear at Peterborough's Autumn Colours Classic.
"The Kawartha OSCAAR race attracted 26 Super Lates last year and we're thinking that we might get 28-30 if we promote it as a big race all summer," concluded Josiasse.
