Banquet Highlights

Saturday, January 29th was the 2010 Capital City Speedway Awards Banquet Night held at the Hampton Convention Centre. The evening started out with a social hour where everyone had a chance to catch up on what was new and old. It was a site to see, so I was told, 200 plus people all dressed to the 'nines' for this gala evening. The evening also featured a "year in review" slide show. It documented the new asphalt being laid by an awesome crew and method - three wide. Thanks to Heather Drummond and our track photographer Phillip MacCullum. The dinner was served up at 7:00 pm with the table line up being chosen by pulling a pill for position at the buffet table. By everyone's account the food was to die for. Thanks to the kitchen staff at the Hampton Inn.

Before the awards portion of the evening started, Robert Drummond talked about the 2010 race season. He started by saying, the excitement of having new asphalt on the track lead to an increased car count in each class. The rain put a damper on the first part of the season but better things were to come. When July and August came, the rain gave way to clear skies and with that came some great racing. The race fans also came out and the numbers grew week to week. The last race of the season saw our highest turnout all year long. Robert then welcomes Todd Gow as the new track operator and wishes Todd much success for 2011.

After Roberts speech it was time to hand out the well earned hardware and the points payouts. It started with the Gow Property Management Four for Fun class with Quincy Roberts being crowned Champion.

The Stittsville Trailers Mini Stock Championship was awarded to Doug Mould for the 2nd year in a row.

Lentech Motorsports Legend Class saw a new Champion for 2010, Chad Windsor.

The 53 Colours Thunder Class saw a threepeat winner, Greg Ogilvie.
