From Ohsweken
Once again “Mother Nature” dumped heavy overnight rain on Ohsweken Speedway grounds and forecast of continued soaking through out the day has forced management to cancel all activities at the speedway scheduled for today (Friday, July 23rd). “Mid Season Championship for the CORR/Pak Sprint division scheduled for tonight has been cancelled while the Chain Race has been rescheduled to August 6th when the Art Hill Memorial for Mini Stocks will be featured” stated Ken Pelkie, Director of Racing Operations. The annual Ohsweken Speedway “Hot Dog Eating Championship” will also be on the program August 6.
“Christmas In July” including a visit from Santa and the annual Toy Drive also scheduled for tonight has been postponed until August 20th.
Next Friday & Saturday (July 30/31) the World of Outlaws will headline a weekend spectacular as “Arrow Express” presents the third annual “Six Nations Showdown”. Steve Kinser, Donny Schatz and Joey Saldana will lead the invasion as a full point program will be presented each night. Plenty of unserviced camping is available on the grounds for a nominal fee of $10.
