BRIGHTON, ON - The Canadian Modified Feature race on Saturday night at Brighton Speedway started with 19 cars ready to race for the first flag of the season.
The race didn’t finish, and the program was postponed, as an unexpected incident stopped the races for the night. The K5 car of Danny Reid suddenly spun out in the infield off of the 4th corner during the 13th lap, while under caution. Danny was transported to Trenton Memorial Hospital where he was later pronounced dead. A Massive Coronary took away a true legend of Brighton Speedway. He will be missed by fans and fellow competitors.
Staff and Management of Brighton Speedway Park send their condolences to the family, friends and fans of Danny Reid. A tribute to Danny will be held before starting next week’s program.
All spectators at the Season Opener, who were advised to keep their tickets, will receive a $2.00 discount for any race event, excluding Sunday May 22, up to and including June 11th, the next SOS night in Brighton. For each ticket returned at the gate, Brighton Speedway Park will also make a $2.00 donation in Danny Reid’s name to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
