BARRIE SPEEDWAY: Gearing up for opener this Saturday

Welcome to Barrie Speedway: "Season gets rolling this Saturday night!

BARRIE, ON - The long anticipated debut of the new tri-oval goes this Saturday night at Barrie Speedway. By all accounts, the new track is very, very fast with the teams taking their first laps at last Sunday's inaugural practice session.

All of last season's champion are returning - John Gaunt will defend his Late Model title with 2005 Thunder Car champ Steve Penny joining him in the Late Model division. Pure Stock champ Dave Doucette has also moved up as he'll run a full Thunder Car schedule in 2005.

The great weather has really helped out as Brad Moran and his team get everything ready for the season opener. The light standards were going back up this week, the billboards were being hung and the crews were busily painting everything in site. A new section has been added near the tri-oval doe lawn chairs - a great improvement with so many fans bringing their own seats to the track! As always, not to worry if the weather cools -- the heated grandstands will keep everybody comfortable."
