RICK @ the RACES

Christmas Week 2010

As you’d expect, there’s not much racing for me to report about as we go into the festive holiday season, so this weeks offering will be a short one.

I’d just like to mention the good news in my area concerning the Capital City Speedway in Ottawa. All sorts of rumors had been doing the rounds but this past week , the promotional plans for 2011 were announced. With the apparent demise of the nearby Autodrome Edelweiss there was speculation that Capital City Speedway may ‘go dirt’ next year as a replacement. This would have been great for the many dirt racing fans in the area, but not so good for the regular roster of ‘paved track’ competitors.

According to the announcement made this week, Legend driver Todd Gow # 67 ( now there’s a good number ! ) is taking over as Track President. Weekly racing will continue on Wednesday’s with opening night scheduled for May 18.

More information can be found by clicking on the Capital City Speedway logo on the links page. Good Luck goes out to Todd and his team for 2011.

That’s all for this week, so I will end by wishing everybody a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday season.
