As the local motorsports calendar continues to heat-up, teams with the Ontario Modifieds Racing Series, presented by GEN-3 Electrical are getting ready for a pair of back-to-back events at Peterborough Speedway.

 

Fresh from the first of this year's 3 dates at Flamboro Speedway – where a pair of past champions John Baker Jr. and Alex Cuzzilla shared the checkered flags in the group's pair of feature events and emerged in a 1st place tie, with Tyler Bouillon, Andrew Massey, Bob Franks, Rick Warnes, Rob Warnes and Randy Hollingsworth rounding-out the overall finishing order – everyone is looking forward to getting back to the venue known as Canada's Toughest 3rd Mile, the unofficial home track of OMRS.

 

"This will be our second show of the year at Peterborough Speedway," said Ontario Modifieds Racing Series racer and spokesperson Rick Warnes. "After running only a couple of dates over the first 7 weekends of the season, having dates at the same track over consecutive Saturday nights will be a big test for our drivers and their equipment, but I'm sure they'll be up to the task."

 

Warnes says the Flamboro feature races created a very tight point race and the upcoming Peterborough Speedway dates could go a long way to helping determine the group's overall 2023 championship. John Baker Jr. leads the point standings at 178, with Alex Cuzzilla 2nd at 174. Bob Franks, Rick Warnes and Randy Hollingsworth round-out the top 5.

 

Following the July 15th and 22nd series stops at Peterborough, OMRS teams will return to Flamboro Saturday, August 5th before being part of the Fan Appreciation Night – Saturday, August 12th – at Peterborough. The 2nd annual Bill Pickford Memorial is at Flamboro this year Saturday, August 26th. The 2023 Ontario Modifieds Racing Series, presented by GEN-3 Electrical season concludes with the Saturday, September 2nd Championship Clash at Peterborough and a Friday, October 6th debut at the Autumn Colours Classic.

 

The 2023 Ontario Modifieds Racing Series is once again presented by GEN-3 Electrical and sponsored in part by TNT Performance Products, Thinkpath Design, Bourque Transmission, All or Nothing Brewhouse and Clarke Motorsports Communications.
