2009 Race Schedule - Coming Soon!
To the race fans of Cayuga Motor Speedway, as most of you are aware we have delayed the release of our 2009 Race Schedule. The reason for the delay and our plans for the 2009 Race Season at Cayuga Motor Speedway are detailed below:
With the present economic climate that is out there, changes were being made by each race sanction on a weekly basis. Sanctions that had offered races to tracks across North America were forced to re-examine their schedules, only to scale back on originally planned events, affecting many tracks including the Cayuga Motor Speedway. We understand their situations and continue to work with each sanction to allow our fans to receive maximum value for their race ticket. In doing so, we were left with one opening in our schedule and are finalizing the contract for a replacement series to fill it.
Once we have the last of the sanctions in place, we will immediately release the full schedule. Our target schedule release date is February 1, 2009 - with tickets going on sale February 9th, 2009 @ 8:00 a.m.
Some of the series making appearances this year are as follows:
ISMA Supermodifieds
SST Modifieds
Canadian Vintage Modified
Can-Am Midgets
Hurricane Midgets
JCAR Late Models & JCAR Mini Trucks
Ontario Legends
Delaware Late Models
Delaware Street Stocks
Ontario Sportsman Series
ARCA RE/MAX Series
NASCAR Canadian Tire Series
OSCAAR Outlaw Late Models
JCAR Micro-Sprints
Auto Value Bumper To Bumper Sprints
NEMA Midgets
The Crown Late Model Tour
358 Dirt Modified
Limited Late Models
Thunder Cars
PLUS our season finale will feature NASCAR Legend Rusty Wallace, with special guests Kenny Wallace, Jimmy Spencer, Michael Waltrip PLUS five more top NASCAR series drivers!
As we have continued to say, "CAYUGA WILL SHINE IN 2009"

I have a copy of the tentative schedule. As you can see by the sanctioning bodies listed, the 2009 season at Cayuga Speedway should be pretty impressive. Full weekends, lots of racing. Hopefully in this economy it will all hold together.
-
So what weekend are they saying is the season finale? Is it still the Bristol weekend in August or has it been moved into September?
-
As it stands now, yes, Bristol weekend is also the season finale at Cayuga. The Nascar drivers are supposed to be there on Sunday, August 23rd.
-
racenut>>what weekends are the thunder cars scheduled in??? need to make plans to run that

A 35 lap Thunder Car Invitational is listed on July 25th. This is the only one I see listed as of now. This of course is unofficial. The official schedule should be posted soon.
-
thanks....that gives me something to think about....
-
Racenut - any details on the Open Wheel Weekend, i.e. which classes are running which days? So far all we know is ISMA is running Sunday and Can-Am on Saturday...where do the NEMA midgets and AVSS sprints fit in there?
-
I believe ISMA,AutoValue and Nema are running Sunday,from what there schedules say.

NEMA and AVSS don't have their schedules posted yet...ISMA is the only group that does.

Well I seen it somewhere Maybe on one of the chats. Who knows I've banged my head a few times LoL

Hope your head is ok..
NCTS moved to Delaware. NO SCHEDULE yet, can we assume the doors are bolted shut once again??
-
JCAR can't be in two places at one time. The JCAR schedule has all races at Grandbend. It is unfortunate that JCAR wont be in Cayuga... I was looking forward to it.
-
Wel well, just went to Cayuga's site and the May 30th date has disappeared from the countdown ticker. June 27th is now shown as the first date but if you click on buy tickets May 30th is still there. It's starting to look like these guys can't organise a two car funeral ???
-
With the date on the counter now reading June 26th as next event by the looks of the ARCA schelude that is the weekend they are scheluded to race there.Maybe they are moving the race to the Saturday instead of Sunday June 27th.Guess we will just have to wait and hear what they have to say on Race Time Radio on Monday March 30th.

OSCAAR is there on Saturday night along with some support events. The ARCA site still shows June 28 for Cayuga.

With time on my hands waiting for the Martinsville race I did some surfn' to all the listed sanctions on Cayuga's site. Here is what I found.
Sanction Schedule Out Cayuga on Schedule
ISMA Supermodifieds YES YES
SST Modifieds YES YES
Canadian Vintage Modified YES YES
Can-Am Midgets YES NO
Hurricane Midgets YES NO
JCAR Late Models & JCAR Mini Trucks YES NO

OSCAAR Outlaw Late Models YES YES
JCAR Micro-Sprints YES NO
Auto Value Bumper To Bumper Sprints NO ?
NEMA Midgets YES NO
The Crown Late Model Tour NO ?
358 Dirt Modified ? ?
Limited Late Models -Invitational?
Thunder Cars - Invitational?
Let's see what we know after Monday.
-
I have always wanted to ran this track,Super fast!!
I sure hope that dip in turn 3 is not any bigger!!Something like that dip in turn 2 at Sunset... ;D ;D ;D
-
I too have far too much time on my hands!
The Cayuga website now list 3 racing weekends: June 27/28; July 11/12: August 22/23.
From the series website schedules, it looks like the following:
June 27/28 - ARCA Remax; ARCA Trucks; OSCAAR
July 11/12 - ISMA: Vintage Modifieds; Ontario Legends
Both should be decent weekends.
The August 22/23 weekend is mystery. If this is the weekend for the previously announced LM, LLM, TC inivitationals, many of the tracks & series whose cars might have come are also racing sometime that weekend.
We will have to wait to hear their plans.
-
No ARCA trucks unless they changed the plans again.
I would like to see them run the OSCAAR and ARCA cars on the same day. Too far to go unless you are camping.
August is supposed to be the NASCAR deal with Rusty etal. They need something else to run with that though.
-
The ARCA website Truck schedule shows race at Cayuga on June 28.
I also checked the home pages of Rusty & Kenny Wallace &Mike Waltrip. No mention of any visit to Cayuga.
-
OldBill that ARCA Truck Schelude posted is the 2008 schelude not 2009.
-
Also the 3 dates shown June 27&28 ,July 11&12,Aug 22-23 was posted on their site back in January.Guess we will just have to hear what they will say tonight on RTR.
-
OldBill that ARCA Truck Schelude posted is the 2008 schelude not 2009.
??? You are right. :-[
-
Listening to Mr .Santucci on Race Time Radio only thingWas I got out of his interview was that there were 3 weekends July 27 & 28 ARCA Weekend,July 11-12 Open Wheel Weekend,Aug 23 Race Of Champions.Good to hear but he could not confirm what back up races were with these dates.Was asked about OSCAAR he said he had to check whether they were confirmed.Other surprised comment was that he was talking to OSS .Seems kind of funny OSS was scheluded to race there then they pulled out and are not shown on schelude.Other race cancelled was the $25000.00 Crown Jewel 250.Said sponsors was the problem there and the 1/4 mile track that was to be made has been postponed also.Was asked when schelude would be out he said he hope to have it done with in the next 48 hours as he is going away.Hope they (Cayuga ) get there act together but something tells me it maybe while before they get it done.Also no mentioning when tickets would go on sale.
-
sounds like a lot of meh and it seems like he isnt really into it...
-
did he say anything about thunder cars running on those weekends? love to race there..
-
No nothing mentioned about thunder cars .This interview is on the previous shows of Race Time Radio.Should be posted either Tuesday evening or on Wednesday.
-
Auto Value Bumper To Bumper Sprints NO ?
Cayuga IS listed on the tenative schedule listed in the news archive on the AVSS website: http://supersprints.com/news (http://supersprints.com/news) (7th post down).
-
Tic Tock Tic Tock 48hrs has come and gone So he said on Race time Radio last week. I hope he had a good time in Phoenix Open wheel weekend better get some more classes or I will be heading to the cottage on that weekend for 2 weeks Can't wait forever I can see the Supers at Delaware for 2 days.
-
I had heard from my Uncle the reason for all the delays is that every involved in scheduling had quit. He didnt say why.
-
Kevin Davis wrote on the Cayuga Facebook page that he had resigned as race director and was still owed money.
-
I realy question whether Cayuga will be a go here is the ARCA race scheluded for June 28th and as of today no advertising for this event no mentioning about tickets or prices.Jerry Wilcox (OSCAAR) was on Race Time Radio Monday and asked if they were going to be at Cayuga .He said yes and date was June 27th but he was waiting for the signed contract which he had not received yet.The way he put it was if Cayuga was running they would be there .Something just not right there approx 2 weeks ago owner was on and said schelude was coming but as of today still same old thing no schelude ,no addmission prices and no word of advance tickets with less that approx 12 weeks before ARCA would you not push this race now.How long will it be before info from this track comes out.
-
Cayuga is still on thare schedule as of today
-
This schedule is so far up in the air that even NASA couldn't reach it !!
I hate to say it, but once again the Crown Jewel is nothing more then a put a penny in and see what you win dispenser !!
-
Dave Didero from OSS was on Race Time Radio tonight and said there are no Cayuga races this year.Said originally 2 were planned but changed (1 Peterboro,1 Flamboro).Looks like interview with Cayuga owner who said he was working to get OSS races did not work out.Mr.Didero said said 27 OSS cars registered ,17-19 could be running for Championship.First race at Peterboro expect 22-24 cars.Sounds like this group is moving on and getting better.As for Cayuga still no word on schelude etc.Not looking to good there.
-
Dave Conely not Dave Didero
-
Sorry thinking of Dave Didero when printed but yes it was Dave Connelly sorry for the mistake.
-
there are 26 listed for 2009 on their website. I notice it includes the 48 which has been listed for 2 previous years and I don't believe has ever showed up for a race.
-
they said these kinda numbers last year and we all know what the real umbers were...
-
There was three new cars at the Delaware practice. I no of one more aswell. Could be a turn around year for the OSS or whatever they call it now. I hope so, it has great potential to be the most affordable travelling series.
-
Mark Alguire was on RTR last night talking about the OSS and he was saying he is going to be running in it this year and he was very pleased with what is going on with this race group.He likes how they are running it and he liked how it was afordable also.
-
Just posted on their site:
Our Website Is Changing
Our new website is nearly complete! In the coming weeks we will release the new site which will include all of the current information and features you are familiar with including secure, on-line ticketing, event photo gallery and breaking news items.
-
This is just getting sad now.
-
sad and pathetic...did somebody put a quarter in the marry-go-round?
-
OK I heard an interesting rumor about Cayuga this weekend. Glen Styres may be looking at or has purchased the Speedway. Could this be why there is no news out of the place?? Anyone else hear anything about this?
-
That would be better than building paved track inside the Big O surface.
June 5th the schedule comes out.
-

That would be the best news in years for Cayuga. Glenn and his staff really know how to run a speedway. Ohsweken's facilities are the finest I've ever seen.
June 5 for the schedule doesn't leave much time to sell tickets and promote the ARCA event.
-
That would be huge! The styres crew has money and brains....not just business brains, but racing brains....the very best kind of brains to have when running a race track.
-
The Cayuga website says 3 big events in 2009!
From the websites of the series listed:
June 27/28 - ARCA Remax; SST Modifieds; OSCAAR
July 11/12 - Auto Value Super Sprints: ISMA Super Modifieds
WTF is the 3rd weekend?
-
Really looking like only 2 weekends and with the way they are draging there butts over the ARCA weekend with still no tickets on sale or info on anything is a mixture for disaster sure hope not but with no advertising how does anybody know there is a race.Come on CAYUGA let the racing fans know if there will be a show or not.
-
That would be huge! The styres crew has money and brains....not just business brains, but racing brains....the very best kind of brains to have when running a race track.
Yeah. For sure that would be 7 kinds of awesome. Those guys know how to make it work.
-
There has to be someone associated with Cayuga who reads this forum ??? Get on here and explain yourselves please! The people who frequent this forum are racers and true blue race fans. We can be your biggest asset or your biggest liability. Which one will it be ??? :o
-
dead horse meet flog flog meet dead horse
-
WTF is the 3rd weekend?
I would guess it will be their "NASCAR Stars" event with Michael Waltrip, Kenny Wallace and some other drivers. I could be wrong though since they don't mention it on their site anymore.
-
This is funny, but I had a dream about this last night, there were motor graders and dozers building a new dirt track outside the the back stretch gate in the field...
It sure would be nice to know either way.
But of course I don't need the website to be updated to know when the ARCA race is scheduled...
-
No idea why no one else has mentioned this but Derek Lynch in our drivers meeting Saturday said that Cayuga Speedway has CL0SED...maybe he misspoke or misunderstood, but those were his exact words....
-
There seems to be a lack of Management for the Speedway, both in Operations and Staffing, and although huge plans were talked about, nothing has happened.
I would be totally surprised to see this track open it's doors in 2009, and the future behond that at this point doesnt look much better.
ARCA says they have a date, as well ISMA says the same thing, but dates are dates and gates are gates, and neither one of them make any sence at this time.
I have always supported Cayuga Speedway in the past, but their lack of concern for different racing series, and the misconcern for the fans has me changing my whole outlook on this race track.
Lets change the heading on this to read.. Cayuga Motorless Speedway 2010 Schedule-
Coming Soon ???
-
It is a same if this happens. I hear they are having a public open house in fort erie about the Super Speedway they want to build there. It is June 4th I think.
This is the one Gordon has some involvement. Nascar already says they have no plans to race there. Only time will tell.
-
SO; WAS I THE ONLY ONE WHO DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING GOOD WOULD COME OUT OF THE NEW OWNERSHIP OF THE SPEEDWAY. WHEN THE SALE WAS ANNOUNCED, WITH ALL THOSE WONDERFUL PICTURES OF THE PLACE, I SAID HERE WE GO AGAIN MORE PROMISES FROM AN OWNER/PROMOTER BUT MOST LIKELY JUST SMOKE AND MIRRORS. I IT IS SO WRONG THAT THE COULDN'T,CAN'T GET THEIR S..T TOGETHER AND GIVE US A HONEST RACE SCHEDULE. RIGHT NOW, JUNE 5tH YOU CAN E-MAIL THE TRACK AND GET NO RESPONSE. AS FAR AS I KNOW NOW, THE SUPER SPRINTS ARE STILL COMING, THE SUPERS AND THE VINTAGE MODIFIEDS. BUT GIVE IT AN HOUR AND THAT COULD ALL CHANGE. IF ANYONE KNOWS ANY MORE PLEASE REPLY.
-
Well Derek Lynch said in our drivers meeting last weekend that Cayuga is closed...so I would approach it as such.

ISMA CAYUGA RACE
IP: 205.188.116.205
Posted on June 5, 2009 at 04:01:43 PM by dee
Despite the rumors that have been circulating the race at Cayuga Speedway on July 12,2009 IS STILL ON SCHEDULE AS PLANNED. I recently spoke with the new owner and he is very excited about having the ISMA supermodifieds return to Cayuga Speedway. ISMA will be part of an event filled weekend including amusement rides and live musical entertainment. Hope to see many of you there.
-
Tonight at Delaware the AVSS announcer said that they were still talking to Cayuga and that the date he said was July 11th.Hope this border issue gets solved (re passports) so AVSS can bring a bigger field of cars because tonight only 11 cars showed up and out of the 11 two were Canadian (Ryan Litt,Mike Ling).As for the race the 30 lap feature went caution free with Mike Ling winning it & Ryan Litt finishing 3rd had a watch on the race and they ran 30 laps in under 10 minutes.In time trials Ryan Litt was fastest as he circled the Delaware oval in 15.682 (114.00 MPH).Pretty quick over the 1/2 oval.
-
at first when I saw "amusement park rides" on a previous post, I sort of thought, what kind of place are they trying to run, but the rides worked well in Holland Speedway's heyday, especially to entertain kids who could be getting antsy while their parents wanted to watch the races. It just too bad that the first big show ISMA will be going up against Kawartha's ACT show if the new owner doesn't modify the schedule in any way.
-
If ISMA is still going to show they need to tell all of their racers because they all think the deal is dead. If the Track is under new Managers/Ownership they need to get it out and in the news local, TV, and Inside Track for sure.
Is this deal for real or just more Cayuga rumors ???
-
you know BAR, this is a little unrelated, but the only recent publicity I can remember here in Burlington for the Santucci era at Cayuga is somehow they wangled it, so the Cayuga pace car was the first vehicle to travel the Red Hill Valley Parkway as soon as it opened to the public. It got on camera on CH news!!!

"dee" is ISMA treasurer Delores Murphy.
-
If ISMA is still planning on running at Cayuga I hope the teams get their passports in advance.
Hoping to have big car count for Delaware Aug 7/8.
-
Notice that "DEE" said she talked with the "new owner".
-
Greg has this posted about the new owner of the speedway...
-
I was told Bill Hill is not the owner but the leaser. What does that mean?
-
 Well, well, well. It seems there is finally some movement over at the web site for the Crown Jewel. We now have a definition of SOON according to Cayuga. 6 Months!!!! LOL. I think someone has been working overtime in the PR department also. New slogan "The Sleeping Giant Awakens!" Hope they didn't pay anything for that one :P They say two weekends are confirmed. July 10, 11, 12 is open wheel including ISMA. With less than a month to go I don't think many race fans left that weekend open on their calendar so I hope it is not a flop for them. Also August Nascar Race of Champions but no details. It also seems that they are going to honour 2007 season tickets this year. WUWT?
 I know in my case with all the stuff that has gone on there that I can't make either of those dates unless something happens and I was planning on hitting at least three events this year at Cayuga when the hype first started as I was excited at what they SAID they had planned >:( I do sincerly hope they can salvage something there this year but sadly I probably can't be part of it. If they are around next year I'll give them a look again.
