The driver response has been excellent for this up coming race under
the lights. Each tractor entered will receive three free pit passes.
The qualifying heats will start at 7:00pm sharp, must be registered by
6:30 to get the grid and show on the track. This event also qualifies

lawnmower yet, ya have to try this event.

We need a tractor count NOW!!!  Pit area is at a premimum and the
speedway wants to cordon of what we expect to need spacewise.  Let us
know if you can help with flagging etc, as well as arriving early to
help with set up.

The show off of four member tractors Saturday night at Brighton
Speedway was a hit with the fan's ,even Little Joe Freeborn worked the
croud handing out flyers ,,We also got our five minutes of glory when
at intermision we hit the track and did some hot laps in front of the
packed grand stand ,,What a RUSH the General Lee and yours truly went
at it and I was told later the crowd liked it. You had to be there our
small tractors in the pits with all the SOS Sprint and Stock cars, hey
but even those driver's gathered around to check out the racers. So
you can be there to on the 4th June for the first lawnmower races to
be held at Brighton Speedway. there will be some pix put up on this
site later.

The Old sod warroir

Test and tune day started off rain/snow/cold,,,,but then the sky
cleared and the day got of to some good track time and fixing,,later
had some good laughs watching the first Red Neck 500 2003 video. Ross
Nicol showed the underside of his tractor on his first test run.
Brighton Speedway race is closing in fast, we will be meeting with
track owner this weekend to sort out race format,,if you plan on
attending this race put your hand up and email me so we can get a idea
for what classes will be run.

Don't forget, racers, this Sunday at 1:00 pm a friendly get together
for racers and their family is being held at the Easton Raceway (ha
ha) in Bordenwood. The track looks pretty good, so even if you haven't
got your racer ready...or painted...come on out for a look see at this
years competition.   The shop will be open to do repairs or soup ups.
This will be a good time to look at what is on for 2005 and get to
know each other.
I hear there's already a couple of grudge races lined up (go
figure).Let me know if you need directions.

The bar-b-que will be fired up and we have the beef.  You bring
whatever else you want.

Movies for the kids will be available.

Please note that we where advised by the Speedway that there web site
schedule is incorrect for the lawnmower races. The date should read
the 4th June 05. We have made the change to the Oeltra site and it is
confirmed that we race the same date as the SOS Sprints, should be a
lot of fun and something new for the club.

Had a chance to see some of our racers this week, Team Small Engine (
Dave Postma ) has given the General Lee a complete make over for the
2005 season, looks real cool and FAST. The Nicol Team of Ross and Joe
have been hard at work building and additional mod's, Ross has his NEW
Stock Mod almost finished, he also has a Modified on the go, should be
interesting for this class for 2005. I'am also told that the Ottawa
area racers are putting together some new Super Mods and Open racers
and plan to be at the Test and Tune fun day. So have fun building and
pass on whats new to rev up the 2005 season.

Following the general meeting held on February 12, 2005, the rules
for 2005 are now posted on the website with some minor revisions and
these will be the OELTRA rules.
So vroom, vroom, have fun building.

"If you build it, hope it runs".

As of right now, it looks like our season opener points race will be
at Frankford Mowdown on the 21st of May.

Build the pacer day will be announced shortly.

Congratulations to Jason Dowdall and his wife on the birth of their
newest family member.  Hope mother and baby are doing good.
I understand the action started on their way home to Perth after
Jason won the open class at the ice races in Pembroke on Saturday.
Way to go.

Why doesn't oeltra.ca work??
