Plans for the 27th Edition of the Autumn Colours Classic Hit Top Speed

Central Ontario's most anticipated motorsports experience gets closer every day. The 2019 running of the Autumn Colours Classic – presented by Lucas Oil Products and Pure Country 105 – at Peterborough Speedway is about a month away from a green flag and the promotional team is working day and night to make sure everything is ready for the Thanksgiving Weekend spectacular. Track owner and promoter J.P. Josiasse says its all about creating a memorable experience for the fans.


"There are people who've had this event on their annual racing calendar since its inception and we have to do everything we can to keep them coming back," Josiasse said. "We had an incredible regular season, with the track championships in almost every weekly division coming right down to the wire. That's the same type of excitement we're hoping to bring to this year's action at Autumn Colours."


Things get rolling Friday, October 11th with pre-event technical inspection and practice; along the with the first round of qualifying as well as the Mini Stock and Super Stock Young Guns Races, presented by APC Auto Parts. After making their popular Peterborough Speedway debut midway through the schedule, the OSCAAR Hot Rods have been added to the line-up and will be on the track throughout the weekend, including a 40 lap feature event during Sunday's finale at the tight, tricky bullring on Mount Pleasant Road.


"We had a good vibe when the Hot Rods brought along some strong numbers in the pits for their inaugural visit and put on a great show when they were here for our Summer Toonie Night in July," Josiasse added. "They were really popular with our fan base and they'll be a great addition to the roster that also includes their racing cousins in the OSCAAR Pro Sprint and Modified divisions."


Bullring bullet points: Plans are currently underway for the 27th annual running of the Autumn Colours Classic – presented by Lucas Oil Products and Pure Country 105 – at Peterborough Speedway. The track will hold an open practice session – Sunday, September 15th – from 11:00 'til 4:00, while the 3-day racing extravaganza – with close to 10 different classes in competition – takes the green flag October 11th, 12th and 13th at the venue known as Canada's Toughest 3rd of a Mile Paved Oval.

Super DIRTcar Series’ ‘Duel at the Demon’ a Devilishly Good Friday the 13th

Super DIRTcar Series' 'Duel at the Demon' a Devilishly Good Friday the 13th

Posted: 09 Sep 2019 08:21 AM PDT

Big Block Modified racers will raise hell for 100 laps at Brewerton Speedway

BREWERTON, NY – Sept. 9, 2019 – On Friday the Thirteenth in September, race fans are in for a devilishly good time at Brewerton Speedway when the warriors of the Super DIRTcar Series unsheathe their swords for the Duel at the Demon 100. The high-banked, premier Central New York dirt oval hosts the best of the best in Big Block Modified racing in a $7,500-to-win, $500-to-start, 100-lap Feature.

With the season winding up to the endgame, Series drivers are keen to pick up every point they can. A number of full-time Series drivers race in the Hoosier Racing Tire Weekly Championship at Brewerton Speedway.

The blood-red Gypsum Racing team will be dueling with the demon in full-force. Larry Wight, Pat Ward and Billy Decker have all picked up wins at Brewerton in weekly competition. With the speed they showed last weekend at Granby, they could be the team to beat on their home turf.

HBR's Baldwinsville Bandit Jimmy Phelps also has a win this year at Brewerton. Phelps is finished fifth in Brewerton points and rides sixth in Series points. Phelps and his capable team know they need to take advantage of their home track to move up in the points.

The top three in Series points are in a tight battle. Matt Sheppard is the current leader with Mat Williamson and Erick Rudolph hot on his tail. Sheppard and Rudolph have traded wins all season long while Mat Williamson has been Mr. Consistent.

This year's crop of rookies is the best in a long time. Ryan Godown leads the way but Demetrios Drellos and Jack Lehner are making names for themselves on the tour, picking up fans at every stop.

Mike Mahaney needs a strong finish going into the season's homestretch. He's running eleventh in points but that does not reflect the strong runs the Huttig machine has had. Unfortunately, motor problems have hindered them in the second half of the year.

The Sears family came in second and fourth in Brewerton's points. Tim Sears and Tim Sears Jr. will surely be a powerful duo for Series regulars to contend with. Sears Jr. looked very strong at the last Series race held at Weedsport Speedway.

Other Brewerton regulars will give Series drivers a run for their money like The Hile-driver Chris Hile, Chad Phelps, Ronnie David III, Tyler Trump, Andrew Ferguson, and more.

Universal Metal Works presents the fifth annual Super DIRTcar Series Duel at the Demon 100 plus DIRTcar Sportsman Series 50.

If you can't make it to the race track there are a few great ways to follow along with the action. Second to being there, FloRacing provides live HD streaming of the race. Also follow us on social media on TwitterFacebook, and Instagram.
