In most cases, the colour green is a good thing - especially in the world of motorsports. The only problem occurs when you're a track promoter, looking at the radar for the latest weather forecast. Kawartha Speedway's Derek Lynch saw nothing but green when he checked the satellites for the latest update. On a weather radar, green means rain and Lynch was forced to cancel the night of racing for Friday, September 3rd.
"We have drivers, teams and fans who travel a great distance to be here," said Lynch. "If I thought there'd be even the slightest chance we'd manage to get the full show in the books, we'd be going full speed ahead. With a 50 lap mini stock invitational and the Ontario Legends in addition to a regular show for our other classes, it just wasn't worth taking the chance."
Kawartha Speedway's 10th Anniversary season will continue with the late model Summer Sizzler - Friday, September 10th. The 150 lap event will be run in 3 fifty lap segments and pay $3,000.00 to the overall winner. The night of racing will have some revised start times as well. Gates will open at 2:00, with racing getting underway at 6:00. For all the details, see www.kawarthaspeedway.com.
