With $ 250.00 to win for the fastest pass, $ 50.00 for the fastest 4 cylinder car pass, and $ 50.00 up for the best reaction time of the night makes for a great show. We have confirmation from a number of Drag Racers that they will be out tonight runni9ng for the money. Expect to see some great cars out putting on a great show.We do have  a number of cars showing up tonight that will be in the low 6 second time in the 1/8 mile, and that will be very cool to see.

Bring a jacket and your lawn chair ( No stands in yet ) and see some of the quickest cars in Ottawa take each other on at Capital City Drags.

We hope to see you at the races.

Interstate Battery NIght was Electric





Thanks go out to James Locke and his team over at Interstate Batteries for being the nightly sponsor on Wednesday. Thanks go out to Larry Way and Wicked Garage for bringing their car show series to CCS. WE had over 50 unique cars on display, and on the track for the intermission show. It was easy to see that everyone had a good time on Wednesday.

As we get to the end of the season, things in the Championship races have turned up a notch with a number of different drivers still have a shot at winning.

Justin Holtom was sitting in the cat bird seat after Steve Monro and Sean Kennedy got tangled up and were sent to the back. Justin moved up from third and into the pole position, and on the restart jumped into the lead and never looked back. Steve Monro got tangled up with Tim Kirby and ended up in the wall with substantial damage. I talked to Steve today and the car needs to be re clipped, but he will be back on Wednesday with his back up car. Steve said it was one of those racing accidents that happen when you decide to race, and no hard feelings towards anyone. A true racer and a gentleman.

Justin Moss continued his quest for the Four for Fun Championship with another win. Pops MacDonald was ahead early but couldn't get away from Jason, and then gave up the lead to Jason.

Legends this week had a new winner and that was last years Champion, Matt Haufe. Dave Riopelle and Brian Saunders were out front for a good part of the race until they got together and were sent to the back. Matt Haufe restarted in a great spot and criused to his first Feature win of the year.

Karl Thibideau in his #49 Ford Fusion captured his second win of the year with a strong performance. Greg Ogilvie and Todd Musker battled hard for most of the race in second and third, giving Karol the opportunity to stay in front and take the checkered flag.

Chris MacDonald from Security Connection took home another strong win in  his Dodge Neon, and increases his chance for his first Championship.

Only 1 more regular season race and that is next Wednesday and is our Back to School Night sponsored by Strongo. We hope to see you next week at the races.

Wednesday Night was a Great Night.

Thanks to all of our fans who came out last Wednesday. I have to say it was one of the better nights all season. We had Fan Appreciation Night, thanks to all of our drivers who came out at intermission and met with our fans. We had 2 Canadian Tire NASCAR Series cars on display, as well as 2 drivers who jumped in behind the wheel of two of our local Late Models. Thanks go to DJ Kennington and to Kerry Micks for stopping in and putting thier cars on display for us. Thanks got to Al Dickie and Ken Baird for providing those Late Model rides for our guests. We had the Eastern Ontario Modifieds who put on a great show and had one of the closest finishes this year. They will be back September 8th for Summer Slam.

Sean Kennedy took home the checkered flag for the Late Models and moved closer to points leader Steve Munro.

Greg Ogilvie was back in the winners circle after missing a week, and showed us that he will still be in the chase for a Championship this year.

Kevin Foisy took another win in his Legend Car. Kevin made it very close with a last lap pass on Brian Saunders. Brian had lead a number of laps showing us he will be a fixture up front for a very long time. Brian has only had a limited number of races in his Legend car and we expect Brian to be a future winner.

Casey Cavanagh took home the Mini Stock win as he drove it hard to stay up front. Chris MacDonald and Nolan Gould battled most of the race for second place which allowed Casey time to get ahead and stay there.

Jason Moss grabbed another checkered flag in the Four for Fun class.

Join us next week for  Interstate Batteries Night with the Wicked Garage Car Show Series
