Western Speedway, Canada’s oldest race track, came up with a couple of new twists over this past week. On Wednesday night, the Hornets took to the track for the first time ever and put on quite a show for the two-hundred or so fans that turned out to watch. The new series raced on the inside oval and sliced and diced their way through two Trophy Dashes, four Heat races and a Main Event. Bumping and bouncing off each other was common throughout the whole evening as the turns are tight, the cars are competitive, and there is very little room for mistakes. Mark Marky and Darrell Crocker were the first Hornets to pick up trophies for their wins in the dash races. This series is scheduled for eleven dates over the summer and should prove to be very entertaining and gain in popularity as twenty drivers took the green flag for thirty laps of racing in the Feature Event.
