Monday’s Weather Washes Out The Week At Ohsweken Speedway
OHSWEKEN, ON. – May 16, 2022 – Today’s heavy rainfall has forced Ohsweken Speedway management to postpone the events scheduled for this week. Both the Practice scheduled for Tuesday May 17 and the Season Opener scheduled for Friday May 20th have been pushed back one week. The Practice will now be Tuesday May 24th, with Season Opener now scheduled for Friday May 27th, 2022.
“The rains last night and this morning have taken us back a few steps,” said speedway owner Glenn Styres. “The crews cannot get out on the machines to put the finishing touches on the grounds. Some of the areas like on and off ramps still need a few days of dry weather to be groomed properly.” “With all of the major construction completed last week we were excited to welcome everyone back but we really can’t take on anymore rain, so we made the tough decision to postpone.“
“It is definitely disappointing, but this is no different than the challenges we face each spring,” said Clinton Geoffrey Speedway Manager. “Canceling Friday’s event this early is definitely out of the norm for us, but we do feel that it is important to let the grounds dry for a few more days before we fill the pits with heavy haulers.”
All cars competing at Ohsweken in 2022 are welcome to test, including the track’s four weekly divisions, the Kool Kidz-Corr/Pak 360 Sprint Cars, Strickland’s GMC Crate Sprint Cars, Middleport Mechanical Thunder Stocks and HRW Automotive Mini Stocks.
Tuesday May 24th, the pit gate will open at 5:00pm for competitors at a cost of $25 per driver and $10 per crew member. Cars are scheduled to be on track beginning at 6:30pm. Practice will alternate for divisions until 9:00pm.
