From press release
Peterborough Speedway, known as Canada's Toughest 1/3-Mile Paved Oval is excited to introduce a new program that will permit racers in its entry level category a chance to take the next step up the ladder.
Peterborough Speedway and the Ontario Modifieds Racing Series, powered by TORQUE BUILDERS INC. - in conjunction with Battlefield Equipment Rentals - will work together to assist any 4Fun driver looking to move to up to another division - Thunder Car or higher - with a request for sponsorship and a monetary award from OMRS and Peterborough Speedway of $300.00 for a season.
Track owner/promoter J.P. Josiasse says the program has some excellent value for the right driver.
"The 4Fun division has been home to a number of talented drivers over the years," said Josiasse. "That particular class was introduced as a proving ground for younger, up and coming drivers and with help from OMRS, someone with the right amount of talent and desire could find a way to expand their understanding while getting behind the wheel of some diverse racing equipment."
4Fun driver Willow Barberstock has been in the OMRS Driver Development Program since last season and has received valuable assistance with mentoring and car set-up.
Josiasse went on to say that depending on the level of interest in the program, the opportunity could also exist for a 4Fun pilot to run some practice laps in a detuned Ontario Modifieds Racing Series machine prior to a Saturday night show. The track is also looking at instituting a mentorship program that drivers in all weekly divisions could take part in.
"Stick and ball sports have had talent growth programs in place for a number of years. We're looking to do the same thing here," said Josiasse.
"Besides the yearly point fund payout, OMRS will provide the added incentive of a $200 monetary award for a driver whose on-track performance excels, along with their interaction with fans and their peers, as well as the community."
