As part of the 45^th anniversary celebration, we are developing a wall of fame to recognize people that have left their mark on Peterborough Speedway. This will not be limited to drivers. The inaugural induction ceremony will be held on Saturday June 2^nd. At this time the first 10 will be inducted with 4 to follow every year.

Along with celebrating the Speedway’s 45^th anniversary the Annual Autumn Colours reaches a significant mile stone celebrating its 20^th anniversary. The event will also undergo a number changes to bring it to another level. Because of the magnitude of this event we have ended our regular season earlier to allow for the needed time to prepare for the 20^th running of the Autumn Colours Classic. One significant change comes with the Chase for the Colours, the top two finishers in each event on that July 1^st weekend will earn the coveted starting spots at the Autumn Colours “The Front Row”. Additional information on qualifying will be released in the next few months.
