News & Notes


It's only Thursday, but the Southern Ontario weather reports for the upcoming weekend aren't good. But when was the last time the weatherman was right? We can hope!

Brighton Speedway is offering Cowboy-style steak dinner on May 20 for $8.00.... The band 'REWIRED' is playing the beer garden prior to the May 21 Shouldice ALSTAR opener at Steelback Sauble Speedway... Sunset Speedway is open for karting today (Thursday), tomorrow and Sunday. Check the website for times and details. I did this a few weeks ago and it was a lot of fun.... Two-time CASCAR Super Series champ Peter Gibbons is going to be signing autographs at Barrie Speedway on Saturday night... The Lucas Oil Canadian Vintage Modifieds open their 2006 season at Lucas Oil Flamboro Speeedway on May 13.... The Ladies Race Series kicks off this Saturday night at Merrittville Speedway, and isn't that appropriate on the Mother's Day weekend? ... OSCAAR's website has a note on their new deal with race2way.ca and their open 'Tech & Test' Day at Peterborough Speedway on Saturday. OSCAAR's Kim Mahoney also has a nice note on the retirement of veteran race photographer Betty Everingham. I've known Betty for many years and I wish her all the best in her retirement. Thanks Betty! ... Varney Speedway kicks off its regular racing season this Saturday night... The main event at Delaware Speedway on Friday night is the 50-lap APC Late Model feature... Finally, the newly re-re-named Capital City Speedway was scheduled to hold its opening night last night (May 10). No word on the results yet, but it's nice to see the Ottawa-area oval looking strong again.

That's it for now...
