The show will also feature the home track 4Fun, Mini Stock, Thunder Car and Late Model divisions.
“We’ve just come off another busy weekend, with back-to-back races,” Drimmie said. “Our car counts are very strong across the board – averaging about 25 at each stop – with some impressive action from green flag to checkered. The fans are hearing about what we’re doing and they’re coming-out to see what all the excitement is about.”
Friday, July 21st the Eastern Ontario Legends Series signed-in at Kawartha Downs & Speedway for the second of this year’s pair of events.
