Autumn Colours, Peterborough Speedway Oct
11th
This was our final race night of 2008. The Hurricanes
put on a caution-free feature with 11 cars making the green flag. Cale Bailey #67 took the checkers in dominating fashion
over Brian Woodland #48, followed by Nathan Meneely #13 and Brent McLean #47. It was a clean race with
all drivers making a great effort for the final points night! See our points standings for the full results. Also check out
the Copier Cup section sponsored by Better Business Equipment!
Flamboro Speedway Octoberfest Sat Oct 4
The day was cool and cloudy but no rain (for a change)
and 14 Hurricanes came out to try their luck with only 2 races left for 2008! Heat action saw the #13 Nathan Meneely dominate
heat 1 with the rest of the field battling for second place. Heat 2 was closely contended by the #47 of Brent McLean
and #48 Brian Woodland, both changing positions every lap to determine who would win - very exciting racing with
the #15 of Charles Priestley getting into the mix late in the race to shake things up! Early action had the #7 hit the wall
and #2 loose a tire. Heats 3 and 4 went off smoothly with winners being the #67 Cale Bailey and #2 Richard Woodland respectively.
The 20 lap feature won by #67 Cale Bailey had most of the action taking place in the battles for 3rd through 7th
as those drivers did a great job racing for position with close, fast action all over the track. Great job everyone
- see you all at Peterborough!

Sunset Speedway Aug 30th
Heat winners were Jeff Blackburn #07 with 2
wins, Robert Summers #4, Brent McLean #47, and feature winner Cale Bailey #67. The weather was fantastic but track
conditions were slippery and most drivers took a few laps to get it right! Some cars had trouble getting to the track
with blown motors, broken chains and heat race damage, but thanks everybody for pulling off another night of good racing.
Three weeks in a row took it's toll on everyone, so rest up, get ready, and see you all at Peterborough Sept 13th!

Grand Bend August 23
Great night Hurricanes! We beat the weather as lightning and rain rolled in after our feature but a fun
night on the track! Our heat action included some contact and a crash in the wall out of turn 4 and a few who had trouble
getting started and getting finished! The 13 car feature was FAST and full of excitement as several cars had trouble or contact
causing restarts to tighten the field and keep the racing action close! Great job everyone!! See you all next week at Sunset
Speedway!
July 16/08 Important update for all members:
Beginning the next race night at Peterborough Speedway August 2nd, there will be an engine
tech after the feature race for the rest of the year. A random draw of numbers 1-5 pulled by the winner of the feature will
determine which car (in the top 5) is to be teched. Motors found illegal or refusal to tech will result in automatic disqualification
for the remainder of the racing season per the Hurricane Midgets Rule Book.
Varney Speedway July 5th
Hey everyone, what a great time at Varney Motor Speedway Saturday
Night. The weather was perfect and Ken put on a packed show with his 2nd annual Ribfest Celebration and mid-season action
for his regular classes. Thanks for the invite Ken, we had a great time! There was lots of excitement in our feature race
with cars changing positions and battles for position all the way through the field. See everyone next week!
June 28th Grand Bend Speedway
Thanks everyone for a great night at Grand Bend. The weather
was trying it's best to fool us, starting out looking like rain and ending the night the same way. It was a very
HOT afternoon as the sun came out and baked the track (and the drivers) - it got slippery (loose) for our first set of heats
and then the track was perfect under cloudy skies for our feature. Thanks to the track officials for moving us up in the running
order, so in case of rain we would get our feature race completed. Thanks to all the extra helpers who make sure everyone
makes it onto the track and special thanks again Jackie for your help with scoring and taking photos!
Peterborough Speedway June 21st
Another great night of racing at Peterborough,
thanks JP for a well organized night, fan appreciation was a success and the racing was very exciting. Thanks Hurricane members
for pulling together as a club - you guys were really helping out and getting lined up quickly - thanks everyone for a good
night!
Racing Saturday Night June 7th at Sauble
Speedway -
Thanks everyone for coming out and making
our Sauble debut a huge success! We had 15 cars and the weather was hot, the racing was exciting, the track was excellent,

great night!
