Cayuga Speedway going strong Posted By KAREN BEST, CHRONICLE STAFF WRITER -2 hours ago The tradition continues at Cayuga Motor Speedway where Dale Earnhart once sped through the turns. The goal is to continue as a premium racing facility, owner Jerry Santucci told council on Feb. 9. "Our goal is to make Haldimand County the racing capital of Ontario," he announced. By offering events with various sanctions, the Nelles Corner oval course will not compete the fan base enjoying other local tracks, he added. With the recession, race fans are supporting their local facilities and the Speedway is an alternative where prices are affordable for families, says Santucci. This summer the Speedway will host six race weekends. The highlight of the season will be the late August NASCAR Legends with Rusty Wallace and friends. In January, track publicity and promotion manager Kevin Davis said Kenny Wallace, Jimmy Spencer, Michael Waltrip and Matt Kenseth are signed up for the Aug. 22 and 23 event and four others are expected to join them on the 5/8 mile track. Santucci also told council that the Speedway has some expansion plans and will be transparent and working with council on them prior to implementation. In response, Coun. Tony Dalimonte said the community appreciated openness and is excited about what has been done so far under new owners. "(The Speedway) has a great reputation and we're going to do everything we can to enhance it," replied Santucci.

Season is upon us, no schedule, no ticket sales, and the fans are restless...

What do we think, is the strong season now officially DEAD??
