This has the potential to be one of the best race weekends Cayuga has had in quite some time...Along with the ISMA race, they will probably do ARCA time trials on the Saturday, and then as the other posts have suggested, run the Trucks and Re/Max cars on the Sunday. Not sure what they have planned for Friday at Cayuga, but Ohsweken Speedway will be running with their weekly sprint division that night, which I am sure most of you know is just a few miles from Cayuga...
I hope it's promoted well and there is a good fan turnout...I think it's important for pavement racing in Ontario for Cayuga to be healthy. I'm worried about what they're going to charge for admission though...I thought the price for the OSCAAR/ASA show there last year was pretty steep...

Cayuga Speedway Park To Host ARCA Double Header in 2008
NELLES CORNER, ON (1-11-08) - It's been nearly 16 years since the ARCA RE/MAX Series traveled north of the border. But that will all change this year after Cayuga Speedway Park in Nelles Corner, Ontario Canada signed the 56-year-old tour to a date in 2008.
The .625-mile paved oval will host the ARCA RE/MAX Series on Sunday afternoon, June 29th, 2008 with a 250-lap event.
The race will mark the eighth appearance of the ARCA RE/MAX Series in Canada since 1967. The ARCA RE/MAX Series first traveled into Canada in July of 1967 to Capital City Speedway in Ottawa, Ontario where Bill Clemons earned the victory in the 100-lap main event.
After a 20-year hiatus, the series return to Canada on May 22, 1987 at Delaware Speedway in London, Ontario where Bill Venturini won the 125-lap race. The next five ARCA RE/MAX Series appearances in Canada were all at Delaware Speedway where winners included Tracy Leslie (August 12, 1988), Bob Keselowski (August 11, 1989, July 7, 1991 & July 11, 1992) and Bob Strait (September 29, 1990).
In addition to the ARCA RE/MAX Series, the ARCA Lincoln Welders Truck Series will accompany the racing activity Sunday afternoon at Cayuga with a 50-lap main event. The ARCA Lincoln Welders Truck Series is building its own presence in Canada having already competed at Delaware on three occasions and at Sauble Speedway twice. ALWTS winners in Canada include Brett Rowe (Delaware 2005), Paul Hahn (Delaware 2006 and Sauble 2006 & 2007) and Nick Gullatta (Delaware 2007).
Cayuga Speedway Park, just over a half-mile in length, is wide with relatively flat and sweeping corners, ideal for close, competitive short-track racing - the kind that puts much of the outcome back into the driver's hands.
Set on nearly 300 acres, Cayuga Speedway Park offers fans a full range of amenities including 1,500 campsites, refreshment and souvenir booths and free supervised parking. There is also a covered pavilion, which often serves as a gathering spot to enjoy all the festivities.

NOTE: If you are planning on attending the ARCA RE/MAX Series race at Cayuga Speedway Park, there are specific US Customs & Border Requirements. Please see below......
Beginning January 31, 2008, US and Canadian citizens 19 years and older who enter the US at land and sea ports of entry from within the Western Hemisphere will need to present government-issued photo ID such as a driver's license as proof of identity, along with proof of citizenship such as birth certificate or naturalization certificate, or a passport. Children age 18 and under will be able to enter with proof of citizenship. Verbal claims of citizenship and identity alone will not be sufficient to establish identity and citizenship for entry into the United States.
It is strongly recommended that all travelers leaving the US verify the specific documentary requirements for their destination country. This info is available through travel.state.gov, or by consulting with the Embassy of the country you are visiting to determine what documents are needed to meet the entry requirements of that country. These requirements could include a birth certificate, passport, or passport and visa for entry into that country.
US Citizens
A verbal declaration and the ability to prove to a CBP officer, if requested, that you claim to US citizenship is valid. Because it is difficult to prove your identity and citizenship without documents, presenting a driver's license and either a birth certificate or naturalization certificate, or a passport, is highly recommended.
8 days until the teams start arriving the for ARCA car/truck weekend at Cayuga. It's nice to see the entry list continue to grow, todays count on the ARCA website is up to 28 entries and I'm sure there will be a few more to come before entries close. Headlining the list is of course RED BULL Toyota driver Scott Speed along with many of the other top drivers. Thinking about pit lane I'm not sure how many stalls there actually are. Does anyone else know ?
For fans interested in the ARCA racing this Saturday the ARCA trucks race at Sauble Speedway with a rain date of Sunday if it happens.As of today 17 trucks are registered to race up there.Thefollowing week is the big Cayuga Weekend can not wait for that weekend should be some excellant racing.
I noticed today that the Roulo Brothers still don't have a driver listed for the Cayuga ARCA race. I wonder if they've considered Pete Jr. ? He's raced for them before. Why not put a local boy in the car? I saw Petey at Cayuga back in May at the NCATS race and asked if he had anything lined up for this year. One of the races he mentioned that he was trying to work something out for was the Cayuga ARCA race. I'd love to see him get another shot in the #39 car. I hope to see him there.
