From SOS
London, Ontario (August 22, 2011) – Jamie Collard is on a roll, winning back to back features with the Southern Ontario Sprints.
It was the first time the SOS has run at Ohsweken Speedway all year when the first race of four co-sanctioned with Ohsweken Speedway Sprints, SOD and PST was rained out back on June 24th. The sky was clear and it was a beautiful night for racing.
Unfortunately for track owner and reigning SOS champion, #0 Glenn Styres, it did not start out as such a great night. Glenn flipped in the first heat of the night doing considerable damage to the car. Ohsweken Speedway regulars Jim Huppunen and former SOS competitor Dave Dykstra in the #5d would also have hard wrecks in the heat races.
In the feature the #71 of Travis Cunningham started 3rd with points leader Lee Ladouceur, Warren Mahoney, Adam West, Doug Banks and Jamie Collard all taking starting spots in the 25 lap feature event.
Travis Cunningham jumped out to an early lead but it was short-lived as Bryan Howland took over on lap 10. Jamie Collard started 21st after qualifying from the B-Main, but he made his way to 10th by lap 11. He was 5th by lap 15 and into 2nd chasing Howland down by lap 17. He tried going to the outside exiting turn 2, but couldn’t complete the pass. He fell back, but got another chance when a caution flag flew for Dain Naida on lap 22. Collard made the winning pass with 2 laps to go
Travis Cunningham held on for 7th while Lee Ladouceur took a 13th place finish to hold onto the SOS points lead.
The following night’s action was scheduled to take place at South Buxton Raceway. However, as the cars were getting warmed up, a large thunderstorm rolled in from the North and heavy rain hit the track forcing the cancellation of the race.
