LUCAS OIL FLAMBORO SPEEDWAY: Grand Opening Celebration Activities Postponed

Bad news race fans,

The poor weather forecasts for Saturday May 14th have prompted Lucas Oil Flamboro Speedway management to postpone the grand opening celebration activities to a later date in the season.

At 9am this morning Lucas Oil Flamboro Speedway owner/promoter met with event coordinator Joshua Paxton to discuss the impending weather. “We checked three internet satellites, we listened to three different radio station forecasts, they all say the same thing, Rain all day.”

At this time only the grand opening festivities have been cancelled and rescheduled to later in the season; this includes the kids rides, the MASCAR simulation race track, the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame display, the driver autograph sessions, and all other extra activities. Said Paxton, “We really want to have a lot of fun with the fans when he hold an event like this. We will get our day in the sun, it just won’t be this weekend.”

The racing program itself, featuring the Lucas Oil Can-Am TQ Midgets, the Grisdale Late Models, Midtown Carstar Thunder Cars, and Waterdown Napa Mini Stocks, remains scheduled to run on Saturday as a regular race night – pit gates open at 4pm; grandstand opens at 5pm; Racing at 6pm.

However, please keep an eye on the website, www.FlamboroSpeedway.itgo.com, for the latest updates in the event that Saturday’s weather forces the cancellation of the racing program as well.
