Our drift nights have been a great success since we started them 4 weeks ago, and we will have them again this Thursday. Drifting starts at 7:30 and will go until 10:30. The number of drifters varies each week but last week we had the most we have had this year and the show was great. We expect about he same number of cars this week so if you are interested in seeing drifting up close, then make your way down to CCS this Thursday. Entry cost is only $ 5.00

Three Class Championships are still up for Grabs.Tonight is a must see.

Coming into the last points race of the season there are still three Championships up for grabs.
The Late Model class will see Steve Munro and Justin Holtom battle it out to see who will win for 2011. The Mini Stock's will see Kyle Baker and Casey Cavanagh duke it out to the bitter end for the bragging rights for 2011. The Thunder class comes down to Dave Stinson and Greg Ogilvie. Dave has a slight lead going in and will have to have one of his better races tonight to seal the deal. These three races tonight will be a must see. Make sure you are there to see it all happen.

The Four for Fun Class Champion for 2011 will be Brooke Cordick and the Legends Champion for 2011 will be Matt Haufe. Congratulations to both of you on a job well done.

Back to School Night this Wednesday

I can't believe it when my kids are getting ready to go back to school in a week from now. Where has the summer gone? We have tried to pack so much in in such a short period of time and I guess that is why it seems so fast. This Wednesday Night gives you one more chance to bring your family out to the races before our season ending show September 10th.

This Wednesday Night is our Back to School Night which means that all children under the age of 12 get in for free. Yes you heard it right Free. So bring out your children, maybe throw in the neighbours children as well, no matter how many you bring, if they are 12 and under they get in for FREE.

Regular Season Tickets good for this week only.

If you have any tickets left over for CCS and want to get in for free with use of these tickets, you must use them for this coming Wednesday night show.

Any tickets that are left over after Wednesday night may be applied to the purchase of September 10th tickets. If you have an adult pass and want to use it on September 10th, we will apply the value of
$ 13.00 towards the cost of a new ticket. Children passes will be accepted with an additional cost of
$ 5.00 . Any pit passes will be applied to the new cost of the pit tickets.

All persons who have a season pass will not have to pay.

Monster Truck Rides added to the September 10th Show.

Soul Collector has been added to the Saturday September 10 show. Soul Collector is a Monster Truck but what is different about this truck is that it has 6 seats in it. Soul Collector will be taking kids for a ride through the bush at a cost of $ 10.00 per child. Rides will start at 2:00 and go on throughout the day and into the early evening. This is one of the very few times this opportunity will happen, so make sure you come on out and go for a ride.

Fan Appreciation Night a Big Hit

Fan Appreciation Night was another success with all of our great fans coming out to see all of our stock cars up close and personal.

The racing night was great but a little unlucky for some. The #9 Thunder car of Lori Mitchell put on a great show winning her first heat of the season and was on her way to her first ever feature win, but lost her brakes with only a few laps to go. Bob Williams had a great showing and has put his car on the right path to making some waves in the Thunder class down the road. The win was taken by Todd Musker who has shown all season long that the 13 Thunder Car owned by Todd Fletcher is a good one.

The Four for Fun class was won by the 82 car of AJ Dickie, driven this night by Brian Sehl. AJ is still a little sore after putting his old car in the wall last week. Congrats to that team for putting a new car together in a few days to make it back to the track. The new 82 sure is a pretty car and it will be great to se AJ back in it next week

The Mini Stock class still has a a champion uncrowned going into the final week of the regular season with Casey Cavanagh and Kyle Baker fighting it out for top spot. The feature was won this week by Cory Wilson who made it to the winners circle for the first time this year.

The Legend class saw Steve Cantrell power his way to another win with Kevin Foisy and Matt Haufe hot on his tail. The car count was up this week and expect it to remain high over the next two weeks.

Shawn Kennedy made it to the winners circle for the first time this year with a great performance. The battle for the championship will come down to this week between Steve Munro and Justin Holtom who are separated by only 6 points.

Don't miss the final week of regular season racing coming this Wednesday.

Strongco Night turns out to be our biggest of the year

It is amazing what can happen at Capital City Speedway when Mother Nature gives us a clear warm night. Strongco Night saw our best attendance of the year and turned out to be an exciting night for many different reasons.

The Uniglass Ziebart Car Show Series hosted by Larry Way came back to CCS after a 1 year layoff and showed us they love coming to CCS. We had 55 cars come out and showed off their great looking cars on the track during intermission. You would have thought that we had the drag strip open again after a couple of lengthy burnouts by a couple of hot looking Barracuda's owned by a father and son team. In speaking with Larry, they all had a great time being back at CCS and we fully expect to see them back again next year. Thanks again go out to Larry Way for agreeing to come this year to CCS and to Wayne Young for helping get Larry and the car show series back. We will see you all again next year.

Thursday morning I got a call from a lady who told me a wonderful story. Her son is a regular at CCS and has been trying to get her out to CCS for several years now. Unfortunately, she was recently diagnosed with cancer and her chemotherapy schedule had her in on Wednesday's which made her normally too sick and too tired to attend. She wanted to come to the show so badly she made arrangements to change her chemotherapy schedule so she would be able to come down last Wednesday. She said she was so happy to finally get out to the track that she was crying like a baby in the line up outside the track. She made it through the lengthy program on Wednesday and said she had the time of her life and is going to keep the new schedule so she can come back again this week. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I apologize to her as I did not get her name, and from the excited tone of her voice, I think she forgot to tell me. CCS wishes you all the best in your battle with your cancer and we all hope you will get to come back and see us again for many, many years to come.

I would like to thank JR Fitzpatrick, Dave Connelly and Patrick Burke from the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series for coming down to the track on Wednesday. Dave Connelly brought us down his car and had it on display at the front gate, and did a few hot laps for us at intermission. His stay with us was short as the car had to get on its way to Montreal for the big race this weekend. JR Fitzpatrick was scheduled to run Mike Hennink's Thunder Car but unfortunately JR blew it up in practice. Nolan Gould, one of our Mini Stock drivers, offered up his car for JR to drive for the night. JR said he has never had the opportunity to race a front wheel drive car before but it didn't take too long for him to work it all out. JR showed his driving abilities and won the feature race. We will work on this again next year and try to make it even bigger and better.

If you were at CCS on Wednesday night you would have witnessed one of our Four for Fun drivers, AJ Dickie, take a hard lick into the wall during the feature race. The ambulance was out on the track for a while giving him medical attention on the infield. AJ Dickie was then taken to hospital for observation and was admitted. They kept him there until today and he was released this afternoon. I have spoken with AJ and Al Dickie (his Father) and they have started building a new car for him. Watch for his new car over the next two weeks.

I would like to thank all of our first time guests, as we had many new people out to watch. I hope you all had a great time and we hope to see you all again very soon.

Thanks go out to STRONGCO for their support this year on putting on a great night of entertainment for all to see. We hope to see you back with us again next year.
