Thanks for that!
However for somebody who knows nothing of CASCAR in those days it appears to me that there are three CASCAR series, a National series, a East and a West series. And it seems that there are only a handfull of National Series races while the East series seems to have the regulars and run a much bigger schedule.
Can somebody explain this process? sorry for all the questions but for somebody finding out all this its quite interesting, plus i want to make sure results get posted properly, i dont want to post East results and say they are National or something
Was it an acutal Cascar sanctioned race? or did a bunch of guys who just had Cascars head down there to run?
It was CASCAR sanctioned ('90, 91, 92). They ran there three years during Speedweeks. The first year it was three shows. We ran five nights the two years that I was there. Don Mallot won all three years. Doug Shakell never won a CASCAR touring series race anywhere.
After three years of the CASCAR Florida Series, Tony Novotny started the Western Canada swing instead ('93).
First, go here and check the 4th post down. That'll get you started.
The New Smyrna series, while not actually a part of the CASCAR Super series, was organized and completely put together by CASCAR. Tony likely thought that was the way to get NASCAR's attention, and apparently crowd response for those races was awesome...but NASCAR still didnt buy in till years and years later. I never saw any of those races...I only remember hearing tell of Barry Harmer from Sweaburg getting hurt pretty bad in a mishap.
At first, the Super Series was just one series. Mostly Ontario based with the occasional jaunt to BC and Alberta. The idea of the East and West series came a little later. Each series was independent of the other, except for a couple of key events that was open to competitors from both. I beleive it was one in BC, and the Great Canadian Labor Day race at Delaware.
But the hotbed of CASCAR was always in Ontario. The Western tour was plagued with low car counts and not near as much interest.
