[3-Wide]

Was reading on the Ptbo site about the meeting and something about the introduction of a new class....

would this be the possible "mini-stock Truck" class that I'v been hearing about that's possible?


just curious if anybody knew... Thanks

It would be cool if they allowed trucks with the regular mini stocks like s-10's and rangers..i think some tracks in the states do

It could possibly be the Street Stock class they've tallked about. It would essentaly be a weekly class for the enduro cars, the last thing they need is another class of 4 bangers.

I also heard about some new truck class at Grand Bend Speedway.  ARCA Style trucks.  I don't know anymore then that.

This is Ontario, there's no way in hell they'd actually make any new sort of truck class (GASP!) compatible with the other truck classes out there already. That'd just make too much sense, and nobody wants to see 20+ trucks from around the area when they can go see 10-12 at a single track week after week instead...

Mobil 1 as you said a new truck class I dought it also but a new travelling series
anything could be possible as Flamboro ,Peterboro,Sunset talk about trucks racing there and Delaware runs a regular truck division .Not this year a new series but next year you never no if all these tracks decide to run trucks.In todays racing anything is possible.Would it work well only time would tell.Some racefans said the OSS would not work well it seems to be going strong.Would a truck series work I do not know but it would be interesting to find out

I'm not even talking about a traveling truck series at all. It's the idea of potentially having 3 truck classes that aren't compatible with each other that angers me. Rather than work with each other to get a common rules package for a truck class (thereby making it cheaper to run province-wide for the class, allow for some traveling and getting the ball rolling for other class "equalizations" between tracks, for lack of a better term) all 3 tracks running trucks are going to go their own directions and further dilute the provincial pool of drivers/teams available.

New classes kills other classes how do you think we got in this mess in in Ontario with low car counts!Real bad idea so now are split between 4 bangers and truck class!

talking to some people at autumn colours, I had heard a few mini stock drivers were heavily considering switching to the truck class if it came to fruition in 2008

It'd be nice if they could get more guys involved from adding another class, but what's the point of splitting up what you have?

On Sunday December 2, 2007 Peterborough Speedway held its annual drivers meeting. Despite the weather a great group of drivers came out and we saw new registrations in all divisions. One of the highlights of the meeting was the introduction of a new class “Renegade Trucks”. This division owner/promoter JP Josiasse explained is a stepping stone between Mini Stocks and Late Model. “We had a void that we needed to fill since we stopped running Thunder cars on a full time basis, but also wanted to create something different for the fans and drivers. This new truck class is going to accomplish both” stated JP.
The Renegade Trucks are a 4cyl truck, with racing suspension, Performance exhaust just to name a few. Appearance wise the trucks will be lowered, with aftermarket nose cones, rear spoilers giving them a unique look. Interest at the meeting was excellent with 6 drivers committing to the new division already.
