Although the track is closed for the season, our work here never really is done. We have started working on several projects for the 2013 season that will keep us busy until Opening Night.
Stock Car:
We have received favourable reviews of our new Thunder Car rules. Several teams have made mention that they are happy with the new rule package and believe we will have a very competitive field in 2013. The size of that field is yet to be determined, but I hope we will see some new cars come on board as a result of those changes. We know of one at this point, but let me know of any new drivers that plan on coming out. Things can get slow from a news perspective, so if you have some news you would like to pass along, please send it over. The key to the success of the Thunder Car field will be in getting back all of last years cars, and building on that number. We hope to see all of our Thunder Cars from last year make it back in 2013.
We have been having a number of conversations with other new drivers coming out in Four for Fun and Mini Stock. Again if we can get back our 2012 cars, with some new additions, will make 2013 one of the best years yet. We will continue to work with these individuals, and any new ones to keep Stock Car Racing in Ottawa going. For us to be successful, we do need new stock car drivers, so if you were thinking about it, give me a call and we can set you on the path to being a new driver with us.
I have talked to some old CCS drivers who will be making CCS there home for 2013. I will bring you up to date when they are ready to announce their plans for 2013.
Flea Market:
We are actively working with the City to clean up some zoning issues so we can make the Flea Market a viable business in 2013. I love this concept and am very eager to see it happen this summer. I was a regular at the old one on Hazeldean road, and I think we can revive an old Ottawa tradition for some of those flea market fans, and make some new ones as well.
Drag Track:
We will be having a Fund Raiser in February to help raise money to replace our stolen wire from the track. Pam is working on the details, and once we have them we will pass them along to you. Thanks to Pam and friends for all of their work on making this happen. We have a couple of new Drag Racers that have already signed up for our new Saturday Night Shoot Out Series. One Junior and one Senior. As mentioned earlier, if we can get enough drag cars signed up we can expand on the classes offered. We will look at a Street Car class, and perhaps a Motorcycle class. Capital City Speedway is here for you and we want this to work for all of us. So talk to your friends and if you want us to expand our current classes and we can get enough drivers signed up for them, it will happen.
Drifting:
Drifting will once again be a part of CCS in 2013. We hope to see all of our drivers back from last year and we hope to see a few new faces as well. We will be working on this program in the early new year and see if we can grow this for 2013.
2013 will be a pivotal year for Capital City Speedway. If you want CCS to continue to offer a place to play, a place to enjoy watching motor sports, or just a place to be on a Wednesday,Thursday, Friday, Saturday and hopefully a Sunday, then we will need all of your support to make this happen.
Watch for our new program in 2013 - " Friends of Capital City Speedway "
We have not had a lot of changes made to our Nostalgia Room over the last two years and we hope to change that for 2013. If you have some old CCS memorabilia around and would like to donate it or lend it to us for 2013, than please let me know.
I look forward to seeing all of you at the races in 2013.
