Barrie Speedway put a Stake through the Heart of a Long Snowy Winter & Spring with some Hot Racing Action on Saturday May 4th.

Beautiful Weather greeted the 2013 season with hopes that it will continue for the remainder of the season.

Dave Vokey describes the action far better than I ever could, so check out the full Vokey Report at the Barrie Speedway website.

With enough polish, these boys and girls sure do clean up. Hard to recognize them without the Firesuits.

It was a spectacular end to the 2012 season for Barrie Speedway, all that was left to do was hand out the hardware at the Casino Rama ballroom.

Well today would have seen my Pop turn 72. He’d have liked the Barrie Speedway stuff and I’m sure He would have loved to get a chance in the School Car. He is missed every day but never forgotten.

Cleaned up pretty good when He had too, but prefered Damn Ugly pants and a Blue Jays T-Shirt most of the time.

Well Summer did not come to a Crashing end, much to the joy of Rick Hurst and the rest of the Barrie Speedway School staff. The Final School of the 2012 Race Season was held under pleasant skies and mild temperatures. Check the Barrie Speedway website next year for more schools and feed that race car driving hunger, that you’ve always had.

The Barrie Speedway race season came to it’s exciting conclusion on Saturday Night with the Crowning of the 2012 Champions. It was almost a forgone conclusion that the #48 of Dwayne Baker (Wahta Springs Limited Late Models) & the #10 of Rick Walt (Canestoga Sprayers N’ Asphalt Repair Thunder Cars)  would be Champions at the end of the night. Not so, for the St. Onge Recreation Pure Stocks. #9 Charlie Smith had a slim points lead over the #11 of Adam Misener, in the end Charlie Smith had the right stuff and wound up 2012 as Track Champion.

Mother Nature was sure trying the Patience of Barrie Speedway Owners, Staff & Fans this weekend, but in the end Blue Skies and Race cars prevailed. While the Saturday was a complete wash out, after over night pumping and no more precipitation the Track was ready for the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series.

With the Perfect Race Weather on Sunday it was a little disappointing that more Barrie Speedway Fans did not take advantage of it. The Racing was Very Good. It is nice to be able to take pictures with good day lighting, the cars stand out a little more, and every one can see a little better and we have fewer on track incidents.

Congratulations to the Feature Winners…

Thanks to APEX Motorsports (Barrie Speedway Ownership Group) for providing the Facility and Opportunity for the Drivers, Crews and Fans to get some rained out racing in for the points Championships. You are the reason Barrie Speedway is once again a Great Race Facility.
