Putting our events together for Summer Slam and for every event all summer takes a lot of help from a number of different people. I could not make this happen by myself, and I want to send a Thank You to all of those individuals who come out and give us a hand each and every week. There are too many names to mention each one, but to all of those people who helped us make it through another season. THANK YOU.
A big THANK YOU to all of our fans who came out during the year and for Summer Slam. We could not do what we do without your continuing support. Each and every year, we try to make your experience at the Speedway more enjoyable and entertaining, and hopefully next year, we can give you and even better show.
I would like to send out a special Thank You to Trevor Hartwick from Stittsville Trailers and Hot Equipment rentals for bringing down his equipment and staff to set up and take down the demolition ring. It is with support like this that CCS can put on these events for all of you. Thanks to Dave Watchorn for all of his help with this event as well.
Summer Slam has been our season ending race for three years now and weather has played a part in the last two. Last year, the event was rescheduled for Sunday which saw a drop in our fan count for the day, and with that in mind we decided to go this year on the Saturday. The weather wasn't promising but we certainly had an opportunity to get in all in. Well, we were almost right. We missed out on the Thunder Car feature and the Mini Stock feature as well. The enduro proceeded in the rain, and I was quite impressed with our fans who stayed all the way through the enduro. I am glad you did because this was one of the best enduro's I have seen.
The twin Late Model features saw us get through the first one with Ken Baird taking the checkered flag, and getting in just over half of the second one before the raing started to come. Steve Munro was leading that race at the time and was declared the winner of the second feature. Stev Munro took home the overall point total for the day with that finish and was declared our Summer Slam Champion. With these points added onto his yearly total also makes Steve Munro our 2013 Points Champion. Shawn Kennedy was a very close second in points.
The Vintage Modifieds saw Paul Billings in victory circle for the first time this year, with Denzil Billings Jr taking the Perkins Lumber Championship for 2013. The Vinatge Modifieds were a great addition to our show this year and we look forward to having them back with us in 2014.
Four for Fun saw Brendan Scott take home the points Championship and Mike Atwell take home the Summer Slam feature win. Brendan will have to move up to Mini Stock next year and a great addition he will be to that class in 2014.
Legends again saw a less than stellar turnout for cars, but still put on a great show with Matt Haufe taking home the feature win and the points championship for 2013. Brad Haufe took home the Semi Pro win and Steve Yendall taking the Masters win.
Casey Cavanagh will be our 2013 Mini Stock Champion. Casey said it has taken him 13 years to actually win a Championship, and I say good things come to those who wait. Nolan Gould finished a close second.
Thunder Car saw a lengthy season long points battle between Todd Musker and Greg Ogilvie, and at the end of the season Todd Musker will once again be our Thunder Car Champion. We will be looking at this class over the winter to see about increasing our car count for 2014. There are a number of cars around and we are going to see if we can get them out for next year.
Congratulations to all of our competitors this year for making 2013 a great season. Thank you for being a part of CCS and for your contributions to keeping CCS open. We could not operate without you and for that - THANK YOU.
A THANK YOU to all of our 2013 track Sponsors. Please support them when you are looking for a specific service. CCS could not operate without their advertising dollars, and if you want to see the track continue to operate, please use them and let them know you are supporting them because they support CCS.
