Thorold, Ontario – "We were able to handle the first two curveballs we were thrown," said (Merrittville Speedway GM) Erica Bicknell-Jones, adding, "but after the third band of rain hit ... we were forced to call it a night."

 

"Even though we had reports of rain all over Niagara," said Kart Race Director Jeff Riley, "all we had was a light shower around 5 PM and a second just after opening ... that is until the last blast just before hot laps were about to start – thanks to all the karters and teams for their cooperation and help ... it just wasn't meant to be."
