HAMILTON, ON – It has been a few years since there has been such anticipation and hype about the start of the OSCAAR season. In the off months the talk and the enthusiasm among, drivers, fans and promoters has been nothing but pure excitement.
With the wait now over, Flamboro Speedway is set to host the 2007 Extreme Adrenaline Tour opening event on May 20, 2007, with the green flag at 6:30pm. It is very fitting for Flamboro Speedway to host this event, as the track has a deep and rich history of Super Late Model racing. Many of the OSCAAR competitors got their first racing experience at the famed paved oval. There are also many second generation drivers looking to carry on the family tradition of being a feature winner at Flamboro Speedway.
The 2007 season promises to be the most intense racing action that fans will witness anywhere in Ontario this summer. Every week the field will see the veterans of OSCAAR like former champions, Rob Clarke, Mike Bricknell, Stu Robinson Jr., and 2006 Champ, John Fletcher, compete against the outstanding 2007 Rookie class which includes Derek Tiemersma, Jeff Dunford, Tim Watson, Mike Ruigrok, Paul Miligan, Shawn Chenoweth, Albert Traves & Ian Bourque.
Some of the other regular competitors will include last years Rookie of the Year, Glenn Watson, 2006 winner of the prestigous Don Beiderman Memorial, TJ Woolsey, and always tough in competition, Drew Spicer, the Passer Brothers, Rudy Opersma, John Owens, Shane McGinnis, plus the return of Jeff Hanley and West Lee Talons.
As is the tradition with OSCAAR, the drivers will compete in two heat races to determine their starting spot in the 50 lap main event. With the level of competition in 2007 the heat races should provide some of the most exciting racing. Each and every point brings the teams one step closer to that elusive championship.
The pit gate will officially open at 4:00pm, main gate at 5:00pm and first green flag is set for 6:30pm. Also on the racing card for the night are the very popular Canadian Vintage Mods as they celebrate their 40th year of racing, along with the Hurricane Midgets.
OSCAAR would like to say welcome to each and every race fan, driver and crews and wish everyone the best of luck for the 2007 racing season.
