Capital City Speedway in Ottawa, Ontario along with Kawartha Speedway in Fraserville, Ontario have put
together a 6 race series along with a considerable point fund in order to promote Late Model racing and
get the best Late Model teams together on the same track. 2008 will see Ontario Late Model race fans
treated to some of the best racing in years.
Capital City, one of Ontario’s oldest operating speedways and Kawartha, one of Ontario’s newest
speedways will provide race teams and fans alike with completely different sets of challenges and
excitement. The two tracks are 2 hours and 45 minutes apart from door to door and the traffic of the
City of Toronto is not an issue.
Capital City, a true short track, that requires incredible driver finesse and ability to get around, will offer
that close quarter bump and grind true grit determination that the sport was built on. Kawartha on the
other hand has the lightning fast high banks that are not for the feint at heart. With Kawartha’s wide
open spaces, there is little room to hide and it puts the teams focus on chassis set-ups at a premium or
the driver has to get the belts tight and hang on.
The two speedways have combined to offer 6 races of at least 100 laps in length, with two of the events
falling within the American Canadian Tour (ACT) schedule. The 2 mid-summer ACT tilts will see the best
of Ontario combined with the best of the northern United States and Quebec. All events fall on either
Friday or Saturday nights.
Kawartha 100 laps - Friday, June 20th
Capital City 100 laps - Saturday, June 28th
Kawartha 200 laps - (ACT) Sunday, July 13th
Capital City 100 laps - (ACT) Saturday, August 9th
Capital City 100 laps - Saturday, September 6th

In order to be eligible for the posted point fund, drivers will have to compete in a minimum of 4 events,
2 events at Kawartha Speedway and 2 events at Capital City Speedway. In addition, the Top 2 in the
point standings at the time of the ACT events at either speedway will be guaranteed a provisional starting
spot in each ACT event. The point fund will be paid out at seasons end to the Top 10 in accumulated
points between the six events.
