Exciting Racing Action at CCS

If you decided to fore go Capital City Speedway and stay home and watch the hockey game, well you watched  a boring game, and missed the most exciting racing action we have seen this year. It was nice to see we had 5 new feature winners this week. 

Heat winners in Late Model were Tim Kirby and Steve Munro with Dave Baldwin taking the feature.
Heat winners in Legends were Chad Windsor and Matt Haufe with Chad Windsor taking the feature.
Heat winners inThunder were Ken Sproule and Todd Musker with Greg Ogilvie taking the feature. The race of the night had to be Ken Sproule and Greg Ogilvie in the Thunder Class feature. Ken and Greg battled side by side for most of the race with Greg taking the lead. Ken almost passed him again with a couple of laps to go, but Greg shut the door on him taking his first feature win of the year.
Heat winners in Mini Stock were Quincy Roberts and Derek Lamoureux with Kyle Chartrand taking his first feature of the year.
Heat winners in Four for Fun were Brooke Cordick and Malcolm MacDonald with AJ Dickie taking the feature.

What was great to see in all classes but one, was different winners in each heat and features. That will make for some exciting racing each and every week.

Car Show Volunteers Needed

I have been doing a number of shows recently and have found that this is a great way to promote our product at Capital City Speedway. When people have an opportunity to see stock cars close up, it generates an immediate response and interest. I would like to continue doing as many car shows as we can and would like to see some new cars come out and participate.

Tuesday is the Hazeldean Car Show Series located at the Hazeldean Mall.

Thursday is the Ottawa Firefighters Cruise Night at Lincoln Heights Mall.

Friday's are a great spot to be at the Zellers parking lot on Merivale. I was there last night until 12:30 this morning showing my car and the response was great.

I and working on a couple of other locations as well, and will publish those when they are confirmed. If you have others that woudl like to have a car at, please let me know and we can request cars to be there.

Points are now up.

Results are now posted from the June 15 night of racing.

Rain Out Procedures already changed for the better.

As a result of our rain out notification process not working at its best this week, we have already made changes to improve it. Unfortunately, you don't know that something is not going to work until you try and use it. For the first rain out, which was called many hours before race time, the system we had in place worked fine. When we were forced to cancel much later in the day, that process did not work very well.

We have made changes to make things work much better. We have programmed our answering machine so we can make changes to it from a remote location. We will have internet at the track so we can make web page updates on a moments notice. Once we have internet at the track we can notify 101.9 The DawgFM about rain outs as they happen, so they can advise fans and drivers accordingly on the air.

We hope these changes will make our notification process better, so we can get the information out as quickly as possible. We hope we do not have test the new process for the rest of the season.

Thank you for your understanding and your patience as we try to make Capital City Speedway the best that it can be.

Calling Future Rain Outs ( Hopefully there will not be any )

Tonight we could have done a much better job informing people about the cancellation of tonights races. Everytime we experience something new at the track, we learn from it, and tonight we learned that we need to improve our notification process. On opening night, May 18th, we ended up cancelling much earlier than today and that process worked quite well. We need to work on that process when the call is made much later in the day. The information that we gathered today will help us get better in this process if there is a next time. My apologies to those individuals who were inconveinanced tonight by our lack of proper and timely notification method(s). We will not make the same mistake twice. Thank you for your patience and we hope to see you all again next week.

Can anyone say DejaVu?

Four weeks into the schedule and only  two races in the books. Can you say DejaVu. It is frustrating to everyone associated with the track, Racers, Fans and Management alike, when you start to see a pattern with Mother Nature. I can only hope that we have seen the last of our rain outs for 2011. Here's hoping that next week brings us a little sunshine so we can all do what we love to do.

Car Show Volunteeers

We are looking for cars to do a couple of shows next week. We would like to have some representation at the Hazeldean Car Show series on Tuesday at the Hazeldean Mall from 4:30 to 9:00

I am going down to St. Michaels School Carnival on Thursday June 9th from 4:30 to 7 pm. On Corkery Road off of March Road.

Busters Bar and Grill is having their Car Show Series on Thursday June 9 from 4:30 to 9 pm located at Lincoln Heights on Carling Ave.

Please let me know if you can attend any of these shows with your car.

Winners from June 1.

Another great night in the books as we continue to see great racing ans some new faces in the winners circle. Tim Kirby took the 07 Late Model win with a good lead coming around corner #4 to take the checkered flag. The # 88 car again this week took a hard hit to the front end after colliding with the # 2 car of Ken Baird in corner number 3. Al Dickie of the # 88 car said it will be back for next week. Jeremy Coulter should have his Late Model for for next week increasing this class by at least 1.

Todd Musker took the checkered once again making him two for two and putting himself atop the leader board again this week. Todd will be going for the three peat this week with a number of Thunder Cars trying to make sure that this does not happen.

Kevin Foisy showed once again how how to put his car in victory lane for consecutive wins as  well. Kevin Foisy is heading down to Charlotte, NC for the Summer Series at Charlotte Speedway for the next two weeks, so we will have a new winner in the Legends Class this week. There will be an exciting feature this week as there are a few contenders ready to step up to take the win. Matt Mould seems to be hitting his stride, Matt Haufe is not to be counted out with his strong showings over the last two weeks, and out track champion from last year, Chad Windsor, will most certainly giving it his best shot as he will try to take his first checkered this year as well.

Kyle Baker had a strong performance this week taking his first checkered of the season. Based on his win we may see more of Kyle in the winners circle before the year is out.

Rodney Dingwall took his first win as a rookie this year. The four for fun class this year is very competitive with a number of strong runners. Al Dickie ran up front for most of the night with another one of our rookies, Braydon Oakley who has showed he can run up front.

Come join us next week as the racing and rivalries just keep getting better week after week.

Points Updated.

Please note the points for Wednesday June 1st have been posted.
