As most of you know, Jerry Wilcox has handed in his resignation as club president due to health reasons.  We wish him well on his road to better health and thank him for his efforts and dedication since he joined the OSCAAR family.  He is willing to help us in any way, and to assist in the transition to a new leadership.

We have scheduled a meeting on Sunday March 14, 2010 at the Best Western (formerly Ramada) in Milton at 12pm to 2pm. The address is 161 Chisholm Dr, Milton On L9T4A6. For the Google Map click here:  Best Western Milton Directions

This meeting will be for drivers and or car owners only.

The agenda for the meeting will be a general election for a president and vice president and to open the floor for nominations for additional positions to top up the board of directors.  We will also open the floor to discuss the Ontario Speedway Association and how that has effected our series with regards to payouts and car counts.

Larry Woolsey
OSCAAR Vice President

OSCAAR’s President Jerry Wilcox has regretfully submitted his resignation to the OSCAAR Board of Directors. Health issues and doctors orders have forced Jerry’s hand requiring a reduced schedule of activities. He has enjoyed working with the OSCAAR community and feels badly about not being to help out this year. We would like to take this opportunity to wish Jerry well as he works with his doctor toward improved health. Hope to see you at a race soon Jerry!

The OSCAAR Board of Directors are working on organizing a General Meeting with the goal of electing a new executive. An announcement and agenda will be forthcoming sometime in the next couple of weeks.

OSCAAR Website

Many of you will have noticed a decline in activity on the OSCAAR website. I’ll take the blame for that. The reason is that I have been working away at a new site design. The work is coming along nicely now and I hope to have a new version of the site launched sometime in early March. Then I can get back to publishing a backlog of OSCAAR stories and reports such as OSCAAR’s 2009 Top Ten and Rookie of the Year features along with updates on driver plans for the 2010 season.

And here are some reflections on the weekend from OSCAAR President, Jerry Wilcox:

Hi Gang,

OSCAAR spent the weekend at the CPT Show in London Ontario as a guest of JBM Leasing and their race team. I want to thank Jeff very much, as this show is a great success and it gave OSCAAR the opportunity to show new fans what we are all about.

Don and Sandy were there on Saturday and took tons of pictures that are going up on our website shortly. Don had so much fun, that he drove all the way back to the show from Peterborough on Sunday for more pictures.

I also want to thank Edna MacEachern and Tom White for their help and support on both days. Very long days and a good job. Also we had some very special OSCAAR Members on hand for support as well. I would like to thank Paul & Tom Milligan, John Fletcher, Mike and Mrs Bricknell, Glenn Watson and Bill Passer for spending their time on Sunday afternoon to support the OSCAAR effort at the show.

These shows are a lot of work, but they do payoff as we picked up two new potential sponsors for the series as well. We will make an announcement when they are confirmed. Again, thanks to all that helped make it a success.

The weekend starts off with the much anticipated release of the Spencer Lewis’ Ontario Asphalt Power Rankings on Friday evening at 7pm. Race fans will no doubt remember the animated and knowledgeable OSCAAR announcing by Spencer at tracks like Sunset and Kawartha. He will be announcing the 2nd annual driver rankings with a formal on-stage presentation including driver appearances. Catching Spencer’s performance is worth the price of admission on its own!

Last year, Glenn Watson and Jeff Hanley made the list, taking 4th and 1st respectively. There is anticipation about the return appearances by the #22 and #70 drivers, but Brandon Watson with a couple of strong runs in the #9 Outlaw, will very likely make an appearance given his red hot performances and multiple wins in Limited Late Model, Late Model and ACT.

While OSCAAR won’t have a booth at CME, there will be 2010 schedules hot off the press and available for pick-up at the supporting race track booths. We can all do our part to show support to CME and Inside Track by attending the show. I’ll be there Friday evening for sure – hope to see you there!

OSCAAR will have a presence, courtesy of JBM Leasing, at the 2010 CPT Racing Experience in London Ontario this weekend January 16 – 17, 2010. Freshly printed OSCAAR schedules will be available for pickup and race videos from the 2009 season will be playing all weekend long. Look for booth #347 and the signs for OSCAAR and Finish Line Fabricating. There will be several race cars on display and surprise visits by some of out best known OSCAAR super stars! Check out all the show info at www.cptrace.com

The final Sunset event has been moved ahead by one week: Sunset Speedway scheduled for Sep18/19 has been moved to Sep25/26, the structure of this special race weekend is still being negotiated.
