The Best Stock/Super 4 Racing of the Season!
Race Night Recap for Tuesday August 31st
By Tom Stephenson
Our twelfth race night of the season is now in the books. It was a great night. A bit warm and humid, so no jackets were required. It was actually a bit of a weather “treat” for so late in the season. We had dark ominous rain clouds pass by through the evening, with a little short sprinkle towards the end of intermission, but no long delay in the race action as the track dried quickly.
We started the evening program with two make up features in the KM Construction Super Four, and Maitland Motors Factory Stock divisions to make up for the cancelled features due to rain last week. We then had a heat and a feature in each of our five regular divisions, an intermission, then features. The night was topped off by a Spin to Win Demolition Derby on a watered down & soapy track. Lots of fun!
Before their makeup feature began, our Maitland Motors Factory Stock drivers got out of their cars on the front stretch and all in attendance had a moment of silence for Mayor John Rowswell, who passed away earlier in the day.

Our next race night will be on Labour Day, Monday Sept. 6th, with qualifying starting an hour earlier at 5, and racing at 6. The feature of the night will be the Northern Stars Modified Invitational. The race will not count for season points for the regular Laird cars, rather, the Laird cars will be granted points in the Outlaw Modified Division. There will be bonus payouts. It should be an exciting race, with 70 laps scheduled. As another part of the program, the ladies should also be out running the Race for the Cure which has been postponed from earlier in the season.
