The Southern Ontario Sprints championship tour roars back into action Friday night as the winged racers fire up for a double header as the 2006 tour continues.
The Styres family owned Ohsweken Speedway will host the Friday night portion of the action. The 3/8 mile clay oval finally got their 11th season underway last week and is ready to treat their fans to some lightning fast sprint car action. Fred Cades Best Western Cairn Croft Hotel located in Niagara Falls will present the SOS as the headline division. With both the ESS and PSG groups idle on Friday night, we should see a large field of cars in attendance at the Big O.
The Home of the Canadian Sprint Car Nationals , Ohsweken will open their pit gates at 5:30 with Hot Laps scheduled for 7:00 PM. Racing will start at 7:45 PM. Spectator gates will open at 6:00 PM.
The following day it will be off to Mark Rinaldi s Brighton Speedway for the second visit of the 2006 Sobey s series on the 1/3 mile. Close racing at Brighton guarantees an action packed program and Saturday s program should not disappoint anyone. Pit Gates will open Saturday at 2:00 with racing slated to begin at 7:30 PM.
With two races complete, the season shows promise to being the most competitive season yet. Winner of the Brighton Speedway SOS opener, Glenn Styres holds a slim nine point lead over second place and defending series champion Adam West.
Bob Crawford, Warren Mahoney, and Tim Phillips round out the top five in the championship chase. Ken Swan and John Riegling hold down positions six and seven while rookies Joe Middlemiss, Kevin Job, and British Columbia s Fred Pigeon round out the top ten.
Be sure to make plans now so you won t miss any of the action as the Winged Warriors with an Attitude travel to a speedway near you.
