Sunset
Speedway boasts some of the fastest, most competitive racing in
Ontario - only 45 minutes north of Toronto. With 13 degrees of banking
in the corners and wide straightaways, side by side racing is very
common in all classes. 3 types of race cars run here on a weekly
basis: Limited Late Models (high power, hand built sheet metal,
aluminum or fibreglass bodied stock cars), Thunder Cars (full stock
body with limited motor mods) and 4 Cylinders (strict rules - strictly
stock). Many special shows are scheduled throughout the year, including
OSCAAR Super Late Models, ALSTAR Super Series Late Models, TQ Can
Am Midgets, Legends and Vintage Modifieds. Depending on the class,
some of these cars can reach in excess of 95 miles per hour on the
straightaways.
One
of Sunset's greatest features is its high grandstands, including
a newer one between turns 3 and 4. There are many excellent vantage
points situated from turn 3 around to turn 1, with little glare
from the catch fence. Lawn chair seating is also available through
turns 3 & 4 as well. Full featured concession stands and washrooms
are located near the start/finish line, as well as pitside.
