CAYUGA INT’L SPEEDWAY: Strong support racing for Cayuga’s Labor Day Weekend Classic



Events include Texaco Havoline 100 for CASCAR Sportsman Series and Canadian Vintage Modifieds

NELLES CORNERS, ON (August 14, 2006) – Cayuga International Speedway will be presenting two support races during its Labour Day Weekend Classic September 2 and 3.

Cayuga is pleased to announce the CASCAR Sportsman Series Texaco Havoline 100 race, which will be presented by Havoline Oil, and the popular Canadian Vintage Modifieds will also take to the big 5/8ths-mile oval.

The Texaco Havoline Oil 100 will be held September 2, and will be race four in the 2006 CASCAR Sportsman Series. Running Late Model stock cars similar to the machines in the CASCAR Super Series, Sportsman series cars do not have quite the power of the Super Series cars, but offer the same degree of excitement. Many prominent Super Series competitors began their Super Series racing careers in this feeder series.

The CASCAR Sportsman Series ‘Texaco Havoline 100 is scheduled to get the green flag at 9:00 p.m. on the Saturday night immediately following the Twin 50-lap CASCAR Super Series shootout races.

As one of Canada’s oldest racing clubs, the Canadian Vintage Modifieds are Ontario-based, but travel throughout the province and in several US states with their own unique brand of racing.

Started in 1966 as the Ontario Amateur Racing Association (OARC), this club continues with the traditional pre-1948 US car bodies with updated six-cylinder power, running gear, and safety equipment. Also known affectionately as the “Hobby Cars,” the coupes and coaches will also race at Cayuga on Saturday.

One of the highlights of the Labor Day Weekend Classic this coming September 2 and 3 will be a well-deserved tribute to Bob and Leone Slack. The heritage they gave to Cayuga will be honored, a heritage that will continue in the future.
