Practice Cancelled

If you haven't already guessed, today';s practice has been cancelled due to rain.

Rain, Rain Go Away, Come back another day (in October.)

You get all types of rain - Road Rain, Rain Man,Singing in the rain, Rain at the Lake even Purple Rain. You must be over at least 35 to get that one. What you don't get is happy Racers, or Operators for that matter. It looks like we might be rained out tomorrow, but we will see what the morning will bring. The long range forecast doesn't look all that optimistic for our Season Opener at this point either. We can only hope that Mother Nature runs out and gives us a break for the rest of the summer. I do know this, after the rains stop, usually there is a rainbow somewhere. Lets hope it is over the Speedway and we get it all done with early in the season. If anybody finds a Leprechaun at the track with a pot of gold - its mine, minus a finders fee of 10%.

We will be at the track tomorrow regardless, so if it is clear, come on out and do some laps. We will watch the forecast for Opening Night. If Opening Night is rained out the enduro will be rescheduled. The rescheduled date will be June 1. If we do not get sufficient derby cars for May 25th, it will take place then. Stay tuned for the next rain report.

Demolition Derby Rules and Entries.

All Demolition Derby entries must pre register for the first derby May 25th. Before we can announce that in fact we will be having one, we need to know if we are going to have a show or not. The entry fee for the debies will be $ 20.00. A maximum car limit will be enforced to keep the show within our time limits. The purse will be dependant on the number of entries.

Rules will be posted early next week. The Cole note version - strip it and crash it.

If you are thinking about competing in the Demolition Derby Series, please let us know. The event will be cancelled for low turnout of vehicles.

Capital City Speedway comes alive once more.

Being a race fan, it was a nice  to see, and hear on Saturday as 20 cars took to the track once again. It is always a pleasure to see the hard work some teams have put in their race programs with new paint and bodies. One such car was the Passinetti Thunder Car. A throw back Malibu body was put on and looks very sharp. Chris MacDonald's 03 Mini Stock looks great as well. Another car, the Dave Woods owned Thunder car, made an appearance as well and looked very sharp. It was great to see that car back after a lengthy absence. The 44 Late Model was sporting a new look and appeared to be running well at practice.

Join us Wednesday May 11 for our open house. Come on in and see for yourself some of the changes on and off the track as we get ready for May 18th. Start Time 5:00 to 10:00 pm.

We are looking for Canteen Employees

In an effort to improve the canteen service,  we are looking for an additional 2 employees for the canteen in a counter/server position. Minimum requirements are you just be at least 14 years of age and be able to work at the track every Wednesday night from 6:30 to 10:00pm. No experience necessary.

Please call us at 613-723-7223 to arrange an interview.

We are still looking for a cook for the canteen as well.

Renovations continue.....

I would like to thank Debra O'Toole and her family who came out and helped us paint the front grandstand along with my family.

We are happy to announce that Debra O'Toole has agreed to become the new barbecue chef for the pit area.

We have started working on the look of the front entrance to make it look more appealing. The flower boxes are now installed along the tower building wall and will make it look much nicer on your stroll to the Nostalgia Room. New crushed stone has been laid in front of the canteen and along the walkway to the Nostalgia Room. The Nostalgia Room ceilings, walls and floor were painted today as we strive to get this ready for opening night.

We are looking for Perennial donations so we can fill up these new boxes and give the grounds a little bit of colour. The boxes are located in full sun, so they need to be full sun perennials. So when you are cleaning up your garden and are cutting back a few, please bring them to the track.

Sign Up and Practice Day met with Sunshine

Lets hope this is a sign of things to come. Our first full day at the track was met with warm, sunny weather. We had 35 cars sign up on Saturday for the 2011 Season, and about 20 cars out practicing to get their cars ready for May 18th.

Our next practice day is Wednesday May 11th and then again on Saturday May 14th. On both of these days you will be able to purchase your memberships for the new season.

Mini Stock Dyno Day a Success.

Saturday's Mini Stock Dyno day was a success with all cars going through very fast and efficiently. For those who did not make this Dyno day will be required to visit Lentech Motorsports and have their car dynoed prior to Opening Night May 18th. The cost will be $ 100.00

CCS feels this is a great first step in solving some of the issues with this class.

Mini Stock Practice and Dyno

We will be at the track this afternoon until about 7:30 pm. if there is any mini stock that wants to come out and practice can.

There are a number of mini stock's that do not have a scheduled dyno time. Please note you do need a time to dyno your car. Please call to set up a time if you have not already done so. I can be reached on my cell at 613-816-0045.
