Joan & I would like to Thank… Mark Dilley, Linda Jones, Steve Slaughter and the Ownership group for providing the Central Ontario region with a premiere racing facility for both Drivers & Fans alike.

We would also like to thank the Drivers and Staff for providing an entertaining and exciting Show each and every night, but mostly, Thank You to the Fans for supporting local racing at the Grassroots level, without them, none of this would be possible.

We have had an amazing last 2 seasons, but it is time for us to move on. We wish all continued success and we will visit our Sunset Friends when we have a chance.

It was a Spectacular End to a Great Summer of racing at Sunset Speedway. Cars were in every Corner, Nook & Cranny. The weather co-operated and proved that when She was a Race Fan, Mother Nature could be very Nice indeed.

Sorry Folks, Don’t really have a lot of time to give you much of a write up… Sunset Speedway had Fantastic Weather, Great Car Counts and Racing. Some cars went fast, Some not so much, Some won, Some Didn’t… Okay, that’s enough Chit Chat, on to the pictures.

Congratulations to All the Winners and Thanks to All the Fans in Attendance.

I can’t think of a better way to spend the Last Official Weekend of Summer than at Sunset Speedway to watch them Crown the 2011 Track Champions. It’s been an exciting and intense race season and it all culminated on Saturday night. Mini Stock and Super Stock Drivers, #79 Nicole Podewils and #46 Lane Zardo had pretty much clinched their Championships the week before but the Late Model Championship came down to the last night. With just a single point separating #47 Tom Walters & #17 Kevin Cornelius, it was going to be tense for both drivers. In the end #17 Kevin Cornelius emerged as the 2011 Limited Late Model Champion but not without controversy.

The day started with Blue Skies much like those 10 years ago, when the World Trade Center in New York was attacked. However this day the only attack was Tires on Asphalt.

Cars and Drivers from around the area descended on Sunset Speedway to race in the next to last $50K Shootout Special. There was Great Racing in all divisions.

 

The Mini Stock Feature Winner was the #07t Alex Lees

The Super Stock Feature Winner was the #46 Lane Zardo

…and the Late Model Feature Victor was the #17 Kevin Cornelius

Congratulations to All the Heat & Feature Winners.

It was a beautiful September day and evening for racing at Sunset Speedway. Things got started with a Fan appreciation sponsored by Dave Wood Mazda, and all Fans were invited down to the track for Fun, Food and Autographs from their Favourite Driver’s.

The Super Stock Feature was first on the Asphalt and after some hard door to door racing between the #21 Matt Bentley and the #46 Lane Zardo, the #66 Marty Monette was able to take advantage and the lead to speed to the Checkers with breathing room to spare. Congratulations Marty.

The Mini Stock Feature was next up and the #41 Dan Britt was able to complete his Feature Wins Hat Trick by working his way through the field. Congratulations to Dan.

Finally, with the Late Model points as close as they are and a Bright Shining Full Moon, it was expected that there would be some surprises in store… and there were. Not what you expected though. Some great racing at the front of the pack by #03 Dario Capirchio and the #10 of Ernie Fummerton, produced a first time winner as Capirchio was able to hold off Fummerton for the Checkers. Congratulations to Dario.

To the Enthusiastic Chant of  “Git-R-Done” from Visiting Sauble Speedway Driver #37 Marvin Freiburger, everyone grabbed a broom, squeegee, or rag to help dry the Track and Pits, after the Rain came.

…And while they “Got-R-Did”, the Rains came back to finish off the night after just one round of Heats.

The $50K Shootout event is rescheduled for Sunday September 11, 2011 at Sunset Speedway.

Thank you to all the Out of Town Fans and Racers who made the Trek to Sunset Speedway.
