CASC-OR ICE RACING SEASON WRAP

Series Crowns 2023 Champions in March After Slow Start to the Winter Season

Story Samantha Parsons / CASC-OR

Due to the weather, the 2023 CASC-OR Ice Racing season got underway a little later than planned. Winter was slow arriving, this year, but it made up for it in March.

But thanks to the efforts of the Minden Kin Club – who host the events at the Minden Fairgrounds in Minden, ON – and Tom Prentice in particular – the organizers and racers managed to complete the full six-event series, albeit a few weeks later than originally scheduled.

Congratulations to all the champions and everyone who competed in the races that were hosted by the BARC, PMSC, DAC, BEMC, TAC and TLMC clubs.

CASC-OR also extends its gratitude to everyone who supports, organizes, and attends these fantastic race weekends.

The champions and final standings for all divisions are listed below. For more information about the individual race weekend results, and how to get involved, visit the Ice Racing section on the www.casc.on.ca website. IT
