New Cars coming to CCS in 2014 ?


To make Capital City Speedway successful in the years to come, we need to put on a great show each and every week. I truly believe that the quality of our weekly shows has gotten better each and every year. To make that happen, it has been a group effort from a number of people. Thanks go to our fan base, our advertisers, our staff and our drivers for coming out each and every week to put on these great shows and to watch them. Without every ones support, CCS could not continue to offer stock car racing in Ottawa.

Every year we loose some drivers for a number of reasons and every year we try and find new people interested in becoming stock car drivers at CCS. Like any puzzle, it comprises of a number of pieces combined together to make the overall picture, and drivers play a big part of our puzzle. We cannot continue to offer a show without our drivers. I do know at this point that we will see some new drivers and new cars in 2014. We have seen some drop in car counts in some classes and hopefully we can increase those counts in 2014.

We are expecting to see a  new bunch of 4 for fun cars this year. There has been some questions about the future of this class and as long as we see the car count start to climb, four for fun will be around for a few more years to say the least. This is a great class to start out in and we hope the trend continues from now until opening night.

We are expecting to see at least 2 new cars in the Legends class and if we can get all of our Legends drivers in the area out we could see a resurgence of cars this year.

We are expecting at this point to see 2 new cars in the Late Model  class which would make for some interesting races each and every week. It would be great to see over 10 cars in our premier class.

There are some possibilities to see growth in our Thunder Car class this year as well.

The early response from our Sportsman Modifieds is good and I am sure we will see more cars in this class than we did last year. Last year, we introduced them to CCS and we are expecting to see that class grow in numbers this year. Add on expected growth in our Vintage Modified class and these will be two great classes of cars to watch out for in 2014.

I wish we could see the same expected increase in cars in every class like we will see this year in our Enduro Class. Great things are in the works for them, so stay tuned for updates for the enduro class and the rest of our car classes.

I hope to see you at the races.
