January 18, 2013- With the offseason transition in full swing, the OSCAAR Modifieds continue to prepare for their sophomore season as Ontario’s youngest asphalt touring series with the announcement of the 2013 schedule. This season the tour expands to 15 races from 12 one year ago and will see the series visit eight different Ontario short-tracks across the province.

Of the 15 events scheduled to take place from May to October 2013, 11 will be run in conjunction with the OSCAAR Outlaw Super Late Models. The season will be action filled with little room for error as the series runs their full schedule over the course of 22 weeks. The 2013 campaign is composed of three extra-distance, 50-lap features along with 11 30-lap features, and a lone 25-lap contest

.
“It took a bit longer than expected to get everything finalised,” said OSCAAR President Dave Gainforth. “The end result will be well worth the wait. OSCAAR fans are going to be treated to great Super Late Model and Modified racing action at their favourite track throughout the entire summer.”

The season opens once again at Sunset International Speedway with a 30-lap feature for the Modifieds. Defending champion Gary McLean won the 2012 opener at Sunset following a spectacular battle with Barry Newman. Sunset will be a key piece to the championship puzzle in 2013 as the Modifieds visit the Innisfil, Ont. facility for five feature events.

Following a month-long layoff, drivers will have to be well prepared for three consecutive weekends of racing, including four feature events.

The series returns to Barrie Speedway on June 15, alongside the Super Late Models, for another 30 lap feature. Six days later, the modified contingent will travel to Delaware Speedway in Southwestern Ontario near London. The third event on the 2013 calendar marks the first of two stops on the year for the tour.

A week later, the series returns to action for a pair of weekend events at Sunset on June 29 and 30 as part of the OSCAAR Super Late Model Don Biederman Memorial Weekend. Both Saturday and Sunday night will see complete qualifying and 30-lap feature formats. Both races will be full points events.

A two-week break will allow drivers to rebuild and prepare for six consecutive weeks starting on July 13 at Sauble Speedway. Steve Smith won the 2012 edition at ‘the beach’ and was the only driver on the inaugural tour not named ‘McLean’ to win a feature event.

The series makes its first ever trip to Flamboro Speedway on July 20 to tackle the tight confines of Hamilton’s Asphalt Arena. One week later, the drivers return to Sunset for another 30-lap feature on July 27.

A trip to Peterborough Speedway for the Chase for the Colours on August 3 kicks off an action-packed month. The event will set the front row for the 21st annual Autumn Colours Classic back at Peterborough on Thanksgiving weekend and will be the first of two stops at Peterborough.

The following Sunday, the series will be back in the Peterborough-area for an exclusive OSCAAR stop at Kawartha Speedway on August 11. Alongside the OSCAAR Super Late Models, the Modifieds will run a 25-lap feature in what is currently the only event on Kawartha’s 2013 schedule.

A short five-day turnaround will have the series back in action for the second stop at Delaware Speedway on August 16 and 17. The modifieds will run time trials and qualifying heats on Friday night alongside the ISMA Super Modifieds before a 50-lap, $800 to win feature on Saturday.

The scene then shifts to the Ontario short track ‘post-season’ for the remaining four events. The series will make its only stop in Durham, Ont. at Varney Speedway Motorplex for the 15th running of the Rick Woolner Memorial. Brent McLean won his first memorial event at his former home track in 2012 and will attempt to defend the title at Varney’s season-ending event. The event expands to a two-day format in 2013 with time trials and qualifying heats on Saturday and the 50-lap feature on Sunday.

A final stop at Sunset for the Velocity weekend on September 28 and 29 will also see a two-day format. Qualifying heats will take place on Saturday before a 30-lap feature on Sunday.

One week later, the OSCAAR Modifieds will join Flamboro Speedway’s Oktoberfest for a one-day show on October 5. The modified portion of the weekend will be run under OSCAAR sanctioning for the first time in the event’s history.

The season will conclude once again at Peterborough Speedway as part of the 21st annual Autumn Colours Classic on October 11, 12, and 13. The second OSCAAR Modified champion will be crowned at the conclusion of a 50-lap feature event.

The extensive schedule is expected to bring in a group of new talent for the series as well as increase car counts.

“If OSCAAR fans thought 2012 was entertaining, wait until they see what’s in store for them in 2013,” said Gainforth.

The OSCAAR Modified season gets underway unofficially at the Mega Speed show at the International Centre in Toronto, Ont. from March 22-24. Cars, drivers, officials, and series merchandise will all be on hand at the OSCAAR booth.
Marketing opportunities are still available with the OSCAAR Modifieds for the 2013 season. Contact Dave Gainforth by email at oscaargainforth@gmail.com for more information.
