The sun is out and track prep is continuing for tonight’s seventh annual Canadian Fall Shootout at South Buxton Raceway.
The weather looks good and the radar is clear, so it looks we’re in for a great night for racing - but you may want to bring a jacket, because after all, it is September and it is the ‘Canadian Fall’ Shootout.
The cars are already starting to pull in, the first being 2005 Late Model Shootout winner Jamie Zidar of Greenfield, Wisc.
And good news from the Modified circuit, Eldora Speedway did get in its Crown 4 Nationals show on Friday - won by Jeff Babcock, with Brian Ruhlman second, Nick Katterhenry fifth and Justin Coulter 10th - all expected to be in tonight’s Modified Shootout field.
Ruhlman has won the three previous Modified Shootouts and is a perfect seven-for-seven in his No. 49 Modified at South Buxton.
The pits open at 4:30 p.m., grandstand at 5 p.m., with hot laps slated after 6 p.m. and the first qualifying heat race taking the track at 7 p.m.
Admission is $20 for adults (ages 17-59); $15 teens (ages 13-16) and seniors (60-over); $5 kids (6-12); and free for under-5.
Pit admission is $35 per person (Late Models and Modifieds); $25 for Comp 4s.

Andrew Reaume will be going for the ‘hat trick’ this Saturday night - a third straight Canadian Fall Shootout Late Model championship.
Brian Ruhlman, who already has a hat trick in the Modifieds, hopes to end Reaume’s streak by pulling a Late Model win out of his hat.
The two drivers - and close friends - will be trying to extend their winning streaks in this Saturday’s seventh annual Canadian Fall Shootout as South Buxton Raceway’s 40th anniversary season comes to an exciting climax.
