Divisions Now Appearing at Flamboro Speedway...
Grisdale Late Models - 2011 Track Champion "The King of
Speed" #82 Jason Shaw
Specs: Open to any make and model North American built car from the
last 10 years. Minimum wheel base of 105” as factory listed for that
make and model of the body being run. The cars are fabricated from
the firewall to the rear section of the car. Some engine
modifications are permitted on built motors, but the majority of the
competitors are now running a GM Crate Motor - a motor built
specifically for racing that is sealed at the factory. The Crate
Motor program has helped to rebuild Late Model racing in Ontario by
lowering the cost of racing and by making the racing field more
equally powered.
Late Model racing is the premier regular division at Flamboro
Speedway, headlining the Saturday night show. The Late Model
division also competes in a 3-race summer series called the Triple Crown
Tournament, an open invitational to outside track rivals.
Thunder Cars - 2011 Track Champion: "The Ice Man" #13 Brad
Collison
Specs: Open to any make or model North American built 2 or 4 door
sedan with a minimum wheel base of 108”. Engines are to be
completely stock for that year of car. A larger carburetor
makes Thunder Cars faster than the former Street Stock class, and
load bolts allow the setup of the car to be modified more easily so
that the cars handle better. Thunder Cars also run on a racing
tire, giving them more grip than a regular street tire. The
Thunder Car division is packed full of talented drivers, rising
through the racing ranks and honing their skills. Each weekend
the Thunder Car class puts on one of the best racing shows seen
anywhere.
Mini
Stocks - 2011 Champion: "The Indomitable" #31 Dave Bailey
Specs: 4 cylinder stock cars, front and rear wheel drive allowed,
all stock parts. The class is intended to take a four cylinder
production car, install a roll cage and go racing. This intended
simplicity makes the Mini Stock division a great one for new racers
to learn, is great for low budget hobby racing and has made the Mini
Stocks the fastest growing division in Ontario. Because of
their size and competitive spirit it is not unusual to watch the
Mini Stocks go three and even four cars wide through the tight
corners of Flamboro Speedway, an action that would be suicide for
most other divisions. The Mini Stocks are the only class at
Flamboro Speedway to regularly start 30 cars in their feature field.
