I'v always wanted to see racing on Canada Day...and with Canada Day being a Wendsay this year....I hope it gets a lot of fans out, not like everyones going to be away beacuse it's a long weekend...it's middle of the week not much eles to do.....so hopefully it goes over well.
Canada Day just needs racing...no matter what day it is...so I think this is a great idea!!!
I believe Sauble Speedway is also running on Canada Day, Wednesday July 1. A 7 pm start with Late Model, Thunder Car and Street Stock invitationals.
My 2009 Race Count: 7
My 2009 Track Count: 3 - East Bay Raceway (FL), New Smyrna (FL), Volusia (FL)
Up Next: Sunday March 22, Bristol (TN)
Contacted Jason at Sauble Speedway. They are going to add the Mini's (4cyl) to there Canada Day showWed July 1. He should update there schedule soon.
what has always played havoc with scheduling races for Canada day is that a lot of employers (for those who still have jobs) will likely force employees to take the holiday on the preceeding Monday or following Friday. A number of employees also vote to have a long weekend during the summer rather than a one day holiday in the middle of the week. For industries with heavy machinery, it doesn't make sense to fire up twice within a week. I guess the only way around it is for the government to legislate that everyone has to take it on the 1st, but that will likely never happen as big business runs government. In the U.S., it would be sacreligious if anyone opened on the 4th of JULY. jmo
