OHSWEKEN SPEEDWAY NEXT STOP ON SOUTHERN ONTARIO SPRINTS TRAIL
by Tommy Goudge (July 15, 2009) – The Southern Ontario Sprints tour brings a tight championship points race to Ohsweken Speedway this Friday, July 17 for round five of the 2009 season. Ohsweken was the site of the second event ever held in club history way back in 1996, and has been a staple on the SOS schedule ever since. More than sixty SOS events have been held at Ohsweken since that time, with Campbellville’s Kevin Job taking the most recent SOS feature win at the Styres-family owned track, located on the Six Nations of the Grand River First Nations reserve near Brantford, Ontario.
Adam West took his second SOS feature win of the season last Saturday night at the Brighton Speedway to draw within eleven points of championship leader Justin Martin heading into this Friday’s event. Warren Mahoney finished third last Saturday and now sits third in the SOS standings, just another nine points behind West. Bob Crawford and Rookie of the Year award contender Tyler Rand round out the top five in the standings.
Last season’s SOS event at Ohsweken saw twenty-eight entries, and featured a torrid battle for the feature win between Keith Dempster and Kevin Job, with Job coming out on top. Dempster settled for the runner-up spot, followed by Warren Mahoney, Rob Pietz, and Glenn Styres. Like Adam West, Styres has claimed two SOS feature wins this season, but missed last Saturday’s event at Brighton, dropping him from the points lead back to sixth in the SOS championship standings.
Don’t miss the Southern Ontario Sprints tour at Ohsweken Speedway this Friday, July 17! Gales Auto Aftermarket presents the evening’s activities, featuring the fifth round of the SOS season, along with Brighton’s popular Thunder Stocks, Mini Stocks, and Bombers, plus “Christmas in July” with a visit from Santa Claus, and an autograph session. Bring a new, unwrapped item to donate to the toy drive and receive $5 off adult admission or $2 off senior/student admission! Also, be sure to pick up your copy of the new 2009 SOS Fan Guide, available at Ohsweken this Friday for just $2.
