SOS: Southern Ontario Sprints Set to Double Up This Weekend


The Southern Ontario Sprints championship will be declared on Friday night, September 8th when the thundering winged warriors invade the Styres Family owned Ohsweken Speedway to close out the 2006 series tour.

We have thirty-five drivers who have met the criteria during 2006 exclaims SOS President Bill Oldroyd. And there are six additional drivers who can make the list if they participate when the series moves into Brighton Speedway this weekend for a two day Classic .
