Peterborough Speedway is Next for the Ontario Legend Car Series
In the first season of operation under a new moniker, teams with the Trailers Plus Ontario Legend Car Series will head to Peterborough Speedway, the Central Ontario oval where they’re Making Memories for Life.
As part of the Saturday, May 18th 2024 calendar kick-off at the popular facility on Mount Pleasant Road, Legend Car racers will continue a tradition that began decades ago. After a washout following heat races a week earlier threw the group a curve, Series director Robin Jongen says they’re looking at logging a full night of action at the track that will host half a dozen tour events this year, including the 31st annual Autumn Colours Classic.
“It’s a shame to lose a fight with Mother Nature so early in the season,” said Robin Jongen. “We’ll make up the Sunset show down the road, but right now, the focus is on our upcoming 3 consecutive dates at Peterborough Speedway. Over the years, they’ve showcased the Legend Cars as part of the annual line-up and being part of their season kick-off – with free spectator grandstand admission – is tremendous exposure for our racing brand.”
Gates will open at 3:00 this weekend at Peterborough Speedway, with racing scheduled for a 5:00. Ontario Legend Car Series staff and track officials remind anyone entering the pit area is required to provide proof of a completed 2024 waiver for insurance purposes.
