The oss had a chance to run varney and denied it apparently there to good for there,

   flamboro blows anyways .they are better off to run at varney  lol   ..casale probably wanted them to run for next to nothing thats probably why they are not there.. ;D

I don't know who this person is however I will assume they are part of the Hurricane Midgets.
You might want to reread this comment and retract it. If your paying attention to what's going on in racing with the fairly recent demise of Alstar, and now how the tracks are handling the OSS.....I see a pattern starting to form here.

Some of the tracks do not hide the fact they dislike travelling series.
I have not talked to a promoter yet who denies that they talk to the others on a regular basis.
Like it or not, the current state of racing is govern and decided by the track owners and hired promoters.

Unless someone comes up and starts a "sanctioning body" with many of the tracks involved.....perhaps to do something to raise the profile for Canadian Grass Roots Racing......nothing will change. (I have ideas if any of the promoters are interested).

Arrogance and bad attitudes are being dealt with by the tracks.....I hope you see that.

Maybe racers need to look at racing from the owners perspective once in a while to see where they are coming from.

Maybe all "Travelling Series'" need to respect the promoters from the standpoint that if that track has a solid exciting program within itself.....maybe it doens't need but one or two "Travelling Shows" to come in annually.  (ie Barrie Speedway.....Sunset has cut way back in 2008).

Reality.......stop hacking promoters. They don't deserve it. They have the paved tracks to put on the race. If your travelling series no longer races there......what did you or the head of your series do to piss them off to say no?

Have a good day.

Have to agree with rj.
Flamboro has its own Grisdale Latemodel series.
They have been trying to get Delaware cars and Flamboro cars to race at each others track in support of WWS. And although the WWS is suspended this year, the people involved still may not want another series treading on their territtory in case they resume in 2009. I just find it odd that the track would make an announcement all on its own about it. Makes you think all the OSS haters kept bugging them that the race was on the schedule and they finally had too say something...lol.
Flamboro had pretty well full fields in all the regular classes by the end of last year and some real good crowds. And this year has no Sunday shows except rain outs and Octoberfest. So they are starting to consentrate on their regulars, like other tracks have been for awhile, which will limit any more travelling shows except hobbies, PRo4's and TQ's.

before there is any track bashing I will step in. You can have your opinion on a track. But coming out and saying the track blows is not a great way of expressing yourself.

Canadian Racing has to change and track owners have to get better shows and maybe traveling series is not the direction they want to go. With tracks having their local series they know what the show is going to be like and how many teams will show up to the events.

I'm not sure traveling series have the backing to prove to tracks that they can put on a great show with consistant car counts. I think the only series that can do this is NCATS. I'm not talking about out west or US series in this as I'm not up to date on a lot of series.

Running a traveling series takes a lot of backing from sponsors and drivers must have sponsors to travel to different tracks. To be honest how much longer would have CASCAR survived if NASCAR didn't buy them out? The car counts weren't going up.

I like local shows and I know a lot of others do as they don't have to travel to keep up with a series and if they want they can see racing almost every weekend at there local track.

I don't live close to to many tracks so I don't mind the traveling to different tracks but if I had a close track to my place I would attend more races.

Looking at the OSS response to Flamboro not being on the schedule, I thought they had the Cayuga Triple 50 locked down already for Labor Day weekend? Reading between the lines ("We are working with 3 other tracks currently to fill our labour day race as well as a late May date"...) it almost sounds like the OSS and Cayuga are done playing ball with each other...
