MILLGROVE, Ontario — While it may be the month of sweethearts and love, Flamboro Speedway is prepared to bring the heat with an action-packed summer of racing.


The Millgrove, Ontario oval recently released their schedule for the fans, featuring weekly racing beginning on Saturday, May 4, all the way until Saturday, October 26. Those who have been attending the speedway for years will be happy to hear that the fan favourites remain on the schedule, like Meet The Drivers Night, and the Flamboro Memorial & Fan Appreciation Corn Roast Night.


The track’s core divisions are back on the calendar for 2024 – Pro Late Models, Super Stocks, Mini Stocks, and Pure Stocks, each ready to offer their own dish of entertainment. With over 100 different competitors across the divisions last year, fans were thrilled by door-to-door side-by-racing racing on a weekly basis, producing several different feature winners.


Of note, the ever-popular Grisdale Triple Crown will once again be a feature statement on the schedule. The 2024 edition will see all three features run as part of Frostoberfest on Sunday, October 6.


The track has a history of putting on thrilling Enduros, as evident with the year-end Halloween Enduro each season. We’ve become used to everyone having fun and getting together to the end year off with excitement and entertainment, so why not do that a little earlier in the year? There are currently a pair of other Enduros on the schedule, including a Father’s Day schedule.


Although the core divisions always put on a show, the track is also proud to host several different touring divisions throughout 2024.


The APC Auto Parts United Late Models of Ontario Tour will make a pair of stops, with the first of those being scheduled for June 8, alongside the T.Q. Can-Am Midgets and Pure Stocks. The second event will then take place on July 13, with the Qwick Wick Super Stocks and Canadian Vintage Modifieds.


Other touring classes that will make an appearance in 2024 include the Just Foam It OSCAAR Modifieds, JRS Auctions OSCAAR Hot Rods, Ontario Pro Challenge Series, Ontario Modified Racing Series, Ontario Sportsman Series, and the Outlaw Midgets.

As has become tradition, Flamboro Speedway will once again have a big event during the year-end short track playoffs, with Frostoberfest, which is scheduled for October 5 and 6. The year-end event will have 13 features across 10 different classes, so it is bound to be packed with action from the drop of the initial green flag.


The 2024 schedule will then close out with the Halloween Enduro 250 on Saturday, October 26.
