“We’ll be making memories all season, starting with opening night,” said track owner and promoter J.P. Josiasse. “For the first time in history, we’ll have a rain date for our lid-lifter. If Mother Nature cancels our original plan, we’ll move the full show to Sunday, May 17th.”

In addition to the season debut make-up date, this year’s line-up will once again see marquee special events complement the hometown racing calendar.

Outlaw Super Late Models – once again under the OSCAAR banner – will invade Central Ontario Saturday, July 11th. This year’s OSCAAR Modified and Hot Rod tour double-dip has been booked for July 25th.

August action roars into high gear with the Cottage Country Bash, featuring a pre-race corn roast and a 50-lap Mini Stock Shootout. Ontario Sportsman Series runners check-in for a 100-lap ‘A’ main Saturday, August 8th. There’ll be a 50-lap Bone Stock Showdown on the 22nd that will pit invaders against hometown favourites for prestige and bragging rights.

Once the regular season concludes, the focus shifts to the Autumn Colours Classic.
