OSCAAR: Heading to Kawartha on Friday Night


FRASERVILLE, ON - The OSCAAR Outlaw Super Late Models return to action this Friday, June 1st, making their first of two appearances this year at Kawartha Speedway. The 4/10 mile oval in Fraserville is one of the faster tracks on the schedule and with high banks and extra racing room always provides for good 2-wide racing action.

Last year saw mother nature throw a curve ball at the oval outlaws. In their first appearance in ’06, the rain came just after the heat races were in the books and the feature had to be called off. As a result, a twin 35 lap double feature format was arranged for their second appearance. That event saw the #61 of John Fletcher charging through the field in both races to capture a pair of checkers and walking away with a boat load of points. The #22 of Glen Watson came home second overall in the event, in what was a sign of things to come from the rookie campaigner.

Two weeks ago, the season opener at Flamboro Speedway saw Watson have his turn showing Fletcher what the back end of the #22 looked like. That team will be looking to do more of the same, and everyone knows the #61 team will be strong and looking to continue last year’s success. It’s shaping up to be a good dogfight at Kawartha.

Throw in TJ Woolsey, Rob Clarke, Shane Maginnis, and any other number of cars that are capable of taking home the checkers on any given night and you’ve got yourself a race. We haven’t seen yet what Jeff Hanley has to show come feature time. Will one of the rookies step up and steal one? Come on out to Kawartha Speedway, Friday, June 1st. Spectator gates open at 5pm, the fun begins at 7pm.
