Thanks to the National Autism Society for being a big part of our night on Wednesday. I know we had some new people out for the very first time and a fun time was had by all. We hope to see some of you again this year.
Thanks to the Drummond Family for hosting our night and thank you for the extra heat money and feature payouts for the drivers. I am sure it was greatly appreciated by them.
Overall, we had the biggest spectator count of the season and thanks to all of you who came out and watched some great racing. We could not survive without all of coming each and every week and supporting Capital City Speedway. It certainly helps when the weather cooperates and there is no chance of rain in the forecast. This Wednesday looks like it will be another great night for racing, as it appears that Mother Nature will give us another great night for putting on a show.
Congratulations go to Steve Munro and Dave Booth who were inducted into the CCS Hall of Fame on Wednesday. Both of these people have contributed to CCS's success over the many years and are now recognized for playing their part in keeping local stock car racing alive in Ottawa.
With a full card or racing and 2 special feature races, it was a full night of racing. The Dinardo Karts where on hand with us and the Sportsman Modifieds as well.
The Late Model feature was won by Sean Kennedy, sponsored by Ottawa Rental Supply and Service, who seems to have set up his new car to his liking. Three weeks ago Sean was involved in a crash which destroyed his old car. Two weeks later he is back in the winners circle again. Compliments to him and his team for putting his racing program back together so quickly. That win brings Sean only three points back of Ken Baird who is our current points leader.
The Legends Class saw Kevin Foisy make the triple sweep of the heats and the feature win.
The Thunder class saw Spencer MacPherson back at CCS in the Dave Woods owned # 25 car. Spencer has taken over that ride for the balance of the season, and look for that car to make a steady progression to the front. Chris MacDonald, owner of Security Connection and the 03 Thunder car driver, has shown some promise in that car. Chris who was our Mini Stock Champion last year and made the move up this year, seems to be getting the feeling for that car as he lead a number of laps before giving up the lead. Keith Ridell improves each and every week and is excited now to finally be in the mix of things. Jessica Pasinetti ended up third in the feature, second was Todd Musker and Greg Ogilvie took the checkered. The Thunder class is getting better and better each and every week and I look forward to seeing what is going to happen this week. Todd Musker and Greg Ogilvie are now tied for top spot and should make for an interesting battle the rest of the way.
Mini Stock saw a few bang ups early on in the night, knocking some cars out of the feature race. Cory Wilson manage to stay clean and finish up the night with his first win of the season.
Brendon Scott took and early lead and never looked back to take the feature win in the Four for Fun.
In the Sportsman Modified class we saw Steve Billings take his second checkered flag of the season and seems to have his car dialed in for CCS. Watch for the Sportsman Modifieds making their third appearance of the year this Wednesday Night. We are expecting to see a few more cars this week as the class saw a busy 4 day dirt series race last week.
The Dinardo's Karts were with us again and always put on a neat show. Trevor French took the triple crown, winning both heat races and the feature.
This coming week we will have Dymon Self Storage Night and our annual CHEO Fundraiser Night. Please come on out and support CCS and CHEO. Please help us support CHEO by bringing a "Toonie for the Tots". We will once again be having our golf ball toss for CHEO. Buy a golf ball for $ 5.00 and at intermission we will have you throw your ball towards the hole. Get it in and you could win $ 250.00 cash. All proceeds from this event and cash donations will be donated to CHEO.
