Ohsweken Speedway is please to announce that general admission ticket prices have been significantly rolled back for the 2007 season. In making the announcement while at the Performance World Custom Car & Truck Show in Mississauga over the weekend, Glenn Styres who along with his brother Curt handle the operation of the speedway, offered the following. “Ohsweken Speedway was built to provide a family oriented form of weekly entertainment. We noticed that the costs were getting out of reach for people to attend regularly and we needed to do something about it. Hopefully rolling back the admission prices will make it more affordable and the fans will respond by making us a weekly stop for family entertainment” stated Styres.
Glenn Styres was on hand throughout the weekend to greet fans and answer questions regarding the most anticipated slate of events in the history of the speedway. Those who visited the display in Mississauga were offered an opportunity to enter their name in a random draw for a pair of tickets to each of the two largest Sprint Car shows to be staged in Ontario during 2007.
