Back when Kim Wallace owned Peterborough Speedway, we'd tow the late model sportsman over there to race every saturday night, that was back when the track was repaved. It was good racing over there, didn't replace any body panels on the car until the end of september, 1 motor, but no body panels. The field were good with Howard in the 70, Baker Sr in the 23, McHattie in the 71 and Dummit until he moved on.
The Minis put on a whale of a show every week. Those guys race for the win and take no prisoners. A few cars left for other venues, but I think more guys who want to go fast will eventually build DOHC cars and come to Peterboro. If you want to race or watch FAST minis, Pete's the place to be.
The late models will get better. They are expensive and take a lot of committment. Don will be back soon, the 00 Vette is coming more often. Haven't seen Dale Laking around lately. Don't know where he's at.
Too bad Bull and Kearnan left. It was worth 20 bucks every week just to see what those 2 would do next. Lance is trying hard to get the X going again. If the planets aligned, there could be 10 anyway.

Randy went to Barrie, Dale Laking is at Mosport, as is Darren Kearnan. Nick Oram in the 00 will likely run the rest of the season at Ptbro - when his schedule permits.
I'm getting sick and tired of hearing/reading/seeing negative things about the track.
Could we post some of the positive things we've seen/experienced at the racetrack, it doesnt have to be pete, it can be any short track?
Maybe some of the owners/promoters could get some ideas and put the ideas to good use!
The only thing that I ask is that we keep this thread on a positive note!
Thanks folks...
The Facts are who wants to watch a Feature with 5 - 8 LLM's, I sure don't.
This is a great track but racing hasn't been good since the days of Art who owned and the place was packed; racing will never be the same at any tracks cause now it's all about $$$$, politics & cheaters & NO TECH.The first 2 replies are what I was interested in hearing thanks folks!
Nascar< have you not had any good experiences at the track, and remember I said any track that you have visited ?
...
Yes I have had good experiences at tracks we raced on "but those days are gone now for Racers"; and for your Info I've been to more tracks in Canada & USA that you could count & I sure wouldn't be too proud to race a Feature with 5 LLM'S and sure wouldn't tell any 1 I won it !

Now at Peterboro they wreck cars when only 5 -6 are racing !
When 24 cars started a Feature there probably wasn't too may wrecks :"just Brain Fade" !
