Mister Transmission Gears Up for the Performance Car Season with Mister Racing Division!

Mister Transmission International has been heavily involved with Canadian motorsports at many levels since we began almost 50 years ago. This year, we’ve officially decided to take our passion for classic cars and performance vehicles to a whole new level.

Mister Racing Debuts!

A new "Racing" link feature has been added to the Mister Transmission website. It’s the gateway for both retail and wholesale customers to find a list of Mister Transmission locations that source and install high-performance transmission and driveline parts for a wide variety of classic cars, muscle cars, custom conversions, race vehicles and more.

In other words, if you own or service a performance car, we’re here for you. As Canada’s largest chain of transmission specialists, we have access to the parts, resources and knowledge you need to maximize the performance of your vehicle.

Our Passion for Performance Runs Deep!

Mister Transmission’s commitment to motorsports ranges from the grassroots level of local car shows — many of our employees across the country are proud owners of their own classic vehicles — all the way to supporting the national Canadian Tire NASCAR® racing series — Ken Catteau of the Guelph Mister Transmission location builds the transmission and driveline for Scott Steckly's #22 Dodge Challenger.

Our newly developed Mister Transmission Racing logo is a testament to our history of involvement with motorsports and is a symbol of the aftermarket driveline tuning excellence that’s offered through many of our locations. Showcasing the famous, “Mister Transmission” orange, our new logo also features a “Racing” script that’s a modern take on the classic, first-generation racing logo that was seen at races across the country years ago.

News of more cars coming to CCS.

Two days ago I spoke with a gentleman about coming out to race at CCS. He was interested in coming out in the Mini Stock class and wanted to know more about making that happen. We had a great conversation and he may end up in Mini Stock, but more than likely will be in a new Four for Fun car for 2012. I will not count that one until I get a picture of it or it shows up on Dyno Day. Which is May 9 - we are taking time bookings now. What I do know for sure is that we will have another female driver in the Mini Stock class running for the Rookie of the Year. The car has been bought and will be racing in 2012.

What impresses me the most this year compared to this time last year, is the number of new people coming out to race this year. Even the talk of new cars and new drivers coming is way up over this time last year. I never count the cars until it is home in the shop getting ready for the season, but even so by my count we are looking at 12 new cars for the 2012 season. If we add that onto last years car count and factor in some cars who are not coming back from last year, we are still way up from last years numbers.

What does that mean?

That means great racing in every class. Great racing means great entertainment for both our fans and our drivers. Capital City Speedway will be the place to be this summer.

New Capital City Speedway Pace Car unveiled today at the Parade.

Here is your first look at the new CCS Pace Car for 2012. We are very happy with the look of the car and are very happy with the graphics work which was designed and installed by 53 Colours.

St. Patricks Day Parade a HUGE Success.

We are always looking for opportunities to raise the awareness of Capital City Speedway to the  public. I have never been in a parade before and I don't know if Capital City Speedway has ever been in one either, but what I do know is that having race cars in a Parade, gets lots of attention. That is the impression we got after today. We had lots of comments from people on the street, and lots of " Wow, Capital City Speedway, I haven't been there in years". Sometimes you just have to remind people of how much fun they used to have at Capital City Speedway to get them back again. If we can remind them enough times through Parades and other types of Media, hopefully we will see them again. I know we will see some of our old friends back after today, and hopefully they will bring their children, or grand children with them. If we can do that, we will create a whole new generation of fans, and fans are what we need to keep things going, this year, and for the next several years. I think we started that process today. Thunder Cat was very excited by the fact that he had the opportunity to meet the Mayor of Ottawa today. We had some issues trying to get him home in the car because his head got even bigger than normal.

Making this happen is not possible without help from a number of people. I would like to thank Al Dickie, AJ Dickie, and Nolan Gould for bringing thier cars out to the parade. I would like to thank Sylvia Ferris ( my mom ), Chris Gow, Megan Gow, Mackenzie Gow, Connor Gow and my lovely wife Renata, for helping CCS out in the parade today. Last, but certainly not least, a warm and fuzzy thanks to Thunder Cat for coming out and giving us a hand.

A couple of weeks ago, we did another Car show down at Winterlude.  It is a little late, but I wanted to thank the Holtom Family for bringing down one of their Late Models, Al Dickie for bringing down his Late Model, and Kyle Baker for bringing down his Mini Stock. Thanks to Thunder Cat for making an appearance, and once again, Renata and Mackenzie Gow.

New Schedules Coming Soon.

The dates have been set, and have been sent over to be uploaded on the wepage. Stay tuned for the Drifting Schedule, the Time Attack Schedule and the Drag Schedule. When we first started this process we knew our goal was to make this facility, one that operated throughout the week, and catered to the various motor sports activities and clubs which exist. That will be a reality in 2012. We have a long way to go and will need a lot of help in making that happen. We need to do a number of things to prepare the Drift Track, and the Drag Strip prior to starting these new motor sports venues at Capital City Speedway.

It appears that Mother Nature will help us a little bit as the weather warms up nicely over the next couple of weeks. I was out at the track yesterday and the track has a number of feet to go before we see pavement. With some higher temperatures, and  a little bit of sun, it should not take too long before we can get out there and start working.

We hope to see a number of volunteers out helping to make your venue, whether it is the oval or the 1/8 mile a little better for 2012.

We will keep you apprised of the conditions out there and will let you know when we will need your help to make Capital City Speedway the best it can be..

Join us on Saturday at the St. Patrick's Day Parade

Capital City Speedway will be one of over 50 groups participating in the St. Patrick's Day Parade on Saturday May 12th. The Parade starts at 11:00 am at City Hall and proceeds east, down Laurier Ave and then down Bank Street to Landsdowne Park.

Capital City Speedway will be showing off it's new Pace Car. Thunder Cat will be there, along with some of Capital City's stock cars.

If you are not doing anything tomorrow, stop by and see one of the biggest parades in Ottawa.

Capital City Speedway's car count just keeps getting BIGGER

We are so pleased to hear about new cars coming out, and the news got even better today with the addition of two new cars in 2012. This is on top of the already growing list of new cars coming out.
Today, we spoke with two new drivers who have cars in their garage and are waiting anxiously to get out on the track and try their skill and luck on for size. We will fill you in on the names and their info when we have it from them. What I can tell you is that we have one new Mini Stock and one new Legend. As mentioned, these are guys with cars in their shops, so we know we will see them soon.

Our new car count at this point in all classes bodes very well for an exciting 2012 season. With the addition of these new cars, will put us in a car count range we have not seen in over 10 years.

New cars - confirmed

Four for Fun - 2
Mini Stock - 3
Thunder - 4
Legends - 2
Late Model - 2

This gives us a total of 13 new cars from last year. 3 of the 13 are drivers moving up to a different class, but regardless a net change of 10 new cars. I love it and I am sure come race night, you will love it to.

We hope to add a few more before Opening Night, so stay tuned for more news on these new cars and drivers.

Dyno Day Set - May 5th 2012.

Special thanks go out to Len Bertrand at Lentech Motorsports for use of his dyno equipment and staff on Saturday May 5th. This will be a free dyno day for all mini stock and four for fun cars and just to remind all four for fun cars, you must have your car dynoed prior to race night.

Mini stock cars which have not changed anything performance wise since last year do not need to attend. BUT, you will be held to the numbers from last year.  The rules state that on any new dyno from a challenge from another racer or a track challenge, you must be within 5% of the dyno number on file or you will loose all points incurred up to that date.

The date will allow all cars to change their set up with the additional weight and get time to work out the bugs with the added weight prior to opening night.

You must call the office to book your appointment with starting times from 9:00 am. This dyno session is free and subsequent dyno time may be subject to a $ 100 fee.

Lentech Motorsports is located at 3835 McBean Street, Richmond, Ontario
