From the accounting department at the super secret hideout of the OGW

 

As we are ready to bring in the month of May, with it we expect some warmer weather to heat up the race track which will give way to the first few races of the season. Come May 25-26, 2019 Canada Heads Up moves into Toronto Motorsports Park in what will be our inaugural event. We have spent much of the winter months putting together a rule book and race day schedule that will be an excellent weekend at the races for all that attend!

We have some exciting news to bring to all the racers – along with the class payouts, Canada Heads Up will be providing the Sunday Winnners of all classes that payout $800 or more with Big Cheques to hang in your trailer or on the shop wall at home!

It what will surely help to take our series to the next level, a deal has been struck with Guelph Racing to bring their video expertise to TMP during all 4 of our Street Car Shootout – Class Racing Series Races, better known as Canada Heads Up!

 

Guelph Racing has a great following on their YouTube channel and we couldnt be more excited! Not only will Guelph Racing be helping to get our brand out onto the web, but we have made some special arrangements in that we will end up with some great promo footage to use for future events! This will definitely help us get our sponsors recognized in another platform!

From the Oring department at the super secret hide out of the OGW!

 

Answering the call out as to what dictates a small tire, we bring you 235Outlaws! As we molded the classes surrounding Canada Heads Up and Ontario Grudge Wars events this year it seems we lost the mid 5 second street car true heads up class. As we manipulated the rule set of Street275 to move it towards a more entry level class by adding a cap to the et (at 5.50 seconds) we produced a hole in the schedule. Racers that want to continue down the path towards the never ending need for speed that a true heads up class gives, would have a huge jump when they wanted to step up from the basic set of rules of the Street275 class to the more unlimited set of rules that is the Limited28s or EZ Street.

 

“With the addition of 235Outlaws we are offering a place for the real street looking car to compete at a higher level. However dont think this will be cake walk… getting the 235/60/15 radials or 26×8.5 slicks to hook up will be the competitors biggest challenge this year!” says series promoter Ian Hill.

 

Series committee members are in continued meetings as we discuss looking for a sponsor for the class, entry fees and payouts for the season! First and foremost we will need to see the support from the racers themselves and we will start this process with making up a Facebook Event page to help gauge interest.

As usual, we entrusted our artistic needs to none other than Jim Mcharg for the logo of the class and once again he knocked it out of the park! Class entries for our series and the RPM Magazine Smackdown3 will recieve a vinyl decal for their windshields of the logo, as well we expect some cool shirts to be available showing off the new class logo!

235Outlaws rules can be found pinned to the top of our Canada Heads Up facebook page or the Ontario Grudge Wars web site in the Rules section.

 

235Outlaws will be run at all 5 of Ian Hill Racing Promotions events this summer (Canada Heads Up series races and OGW”s RPM Magazine Smackdown3). visit our ontarigrudgewars.com website for the contact us page for more details

In what is sure to be the top drag related story of 2019, Ontario Grudge Wars announced this morning that the Worlds Largest Small Tire Drag Radial race is headed to Ontario Canada. While the whole world sat on the edge of their seats waiting for the announcement of where Duck would be headed with his brand of of the baddest small tire racing on the planet. The Management of the Ontario Grudge Wars camp went out, settled another controversial partnership of sorts and negotiated the deal of a life time!

“As soon as I saw that Lights Out was leaving SGMP, we went to work to heal some wounds with the Brass at OSO. We knew right away, there would be no way we could pull this off alone! As soon we finished our Tim Horton’s coffees we headed out and got started making plans for our proposal to Duck!” said OGW front man Ian Hill. “Once Paul and I kissed & made up, said sorry to each other it was 100% go time as i knew we were against the clock as no doubt there would be many other hosts vying for the chance to host the largest street car radial race known to man”.

After many phone calls & discussions an agreement was made as a 4 way partnership of sorts came together between Duck, OGW, OSO and 3M and we are super excited to let everyone know that 3M will be providing the track prep at the 2019 running of the Lightsout event! “We discussed with Duck that the constant down time between classes during qualifying was draining and costly to those trying to watch pay per view and live streaming on the standard Canadian dial up internet connection, with 3M invloved they are offering a truly state of the art aircraft quality “Flypaper” peel and stick product that we will applying the racing surface once per day! 3M has stated they believe the treatment would take about 20 minutes to apply and will be good for up to 364 passes with upwards of 740lbs of torque on the local track’s surface tension meter measured at the starting line.

Of course with the exchange rate in the American’s favor, RvW looks like the standard $50,000 to win program will increase to approximately $68,000 Canadian funds thanks to Trump’s build the wall efforts! “once we show off the capabilities of the new 3M products and offer up some of that good old Canadian politeness, Canadian beer and offer a vendor area featuring the spoils of Ontario’s Topless law that came into affect a few years ago, we expect this year’s event to be Ducks biggest ever”!

Our next steps is to do some testing with the Fly Paper Product in the cool Ontario-night’s temperatures surrounding that date. As Duck has already announced the date of LightsOut 11 we will definitely have some work to do to make sure the track can be ready to handle 300+ cars! We are looking forward to hosting this event and bringing an influx of tourism to our area, as we are sure that most racers will take this opportunity to visit Niagara Falls on their way through… the iced up falls in February is beautiful with the colored lights glowing on them after dark….
