Some people would get the impression that Mother Nature isn’t a race fan. At least teams with the Trailers Plus Ontario Legend Car Series are starting to feel that way.

After having a pair of shows rained-out August 1st and 2nd at Sauble Speedway, 21 of the group’s racers rolled through the pit gates at Peterborough Speedway Saturday, August 8th. Even with the probability of heavy rain and thunderstorms in the area, things seemed to be rolling along in the right direction…until they weren’t. Shortly after the first round of practice hit the track, the rain began.

Like everyone else, Trailers Plus Ontario Legend Car Series racers, crew members, family, friends and group officials settled in for a couple of hours of bench racing until Mother Nature decided enough was enough and gave everyone hope that the sun would finally shine on their racing plans…albeit
an hour behind the scheduled start time.

Once Peterborough Speedway officials were finally able to work the popular Central Ontario oval into raceable condition, the group was able run off a set of qualifying heats that saw Andrew (Jim) McFadden, Keaton Pipe, Dawson Drimmie and Mackenzie Milwain take checkered flags – on a very green racetrack – to kick off the night of racing, presented by Brian’s Towing.

With a full night of racing on the agenda and a limited window of opportunity, track staff was working hard to get everything completed in the allotted time. As the 11:00 curfew drew closer, it was clear that the Ontario Legend Car Series would have to wait for another day.

The group’s next appearance at the venue on Mount Pleasant Road will be Saturday, August 22nd and the delayed feature event will open the night’s program. The Peterborough Speedway team and Trailers Plus Ontario Legend Car Series officials appreciate the support and patience of racers and fans on a very busy, rain delayed night at the track.

Fans can follow the Trailers Plus Ontario Legend Car Series at the track and through the group’s social media pages and platforms.
