BROCKVILLE, ON-With the arrival of spring about a month away, officials with the Eastern Ontario Vintage Stock Car Club have released a tentative version of the group’s 2023 schedule.
Early indications show 16 dates on this year’s line-up, with the opening green flag set for Saturday, May 13th at Brockville Ontario Speedway. There will also be events at Cornwall Motor Speedway and a return to Can Am Speedway on the agenda, before Western swing with shows Friday, June 30th at Ohsweken Speedway and a Canada Day spotlight Saturday, July 1st at Merrittville. Both shows will be run in conjunction with the Niagara Vintage Racing Series.
“Our drivers and teams are looking forward to getting back on the track for a new season,” said E.O.V.S.C.C. spokesperson and race director Steve Billings. “For the first time in the club’s history, we’ll have a triple-header weekend – Friday, June 9th to Sunday, June 11th – at Can Am, Brockville and Cornwall.
