PORT COLBORNE, ONTARIO – The management of Humberstone Speedway is still in the process of finalizing the 2017 schedule. “We are diligently working on the final details for a couple of significant events this year,” remarks Humberstone General Manager Bob Davidson. “We anticipate releasing all the particulars of our 2017 schedule in the forthcoming weeks,” Davidson further adds.
The 2017 season is set to commence with a resounding bang on Sunday, April 30th at 1:00 pm with the second iteration of the Dawn of Destruction. This popular event will kick off with a 100-lap, $1,000-to-win Enduro race, which will be divided into four (4) 25-lap segments. Each segment winner will receive $75. Also making a comeback as part of the Dawn of Destruction is the Construction Crush Off.
“We have some ingenious plans up our sleeves to outdo last year’s crush off,” adds Humberstone Speedway Race Director Tom Beales. The popular Ladies Race, Backwards Race, Enduro Cross, Side By Side Chain Race, along with a few more surprises, will also be featured on the card as part of the Dawn of Destruction. Details and rules will be made available online at www.humberstonespeedway.com
The stock cars will take to the track for an open practice session under the lights on Sunday, May 14th, with Wednesday, May 17th designated as the rain date. The speedway will continue its “Wind it Up Wednesday” practice sessions throughout the season. The 2017 season opener will be on Sunday, May 21st, when Humberstone will introduce its first-ever pre-race tailgate party. Comprehensive details and a race night schedule for the Opening Night 2017 will be announced in the upcoming weeks. Transponders will be mandatory for ALL Humberstone classes in 2017.
The Southern Ontario Sprints (SOS) will return in 2017 with a pair of shows on Sunday, June 4th and Sunday, August 13th. Ryan Susice achieved his first career Sprint Car victory, and Dylan Westbrook punctuated his 2016 SOS Championship with their victories when the SOS visited Humberstone in 2016.
