This weekend has the country’s best sportsman racers heading to St Thomas Raceway Park in Sparta, Ontario for the second of three Canadian double-header weekends on the 2013 TNTSS schedule.
Presented by Kevin Orr Mechanical, this weekend will host two events in the 2013 Joe’s Transmission TNT Super Series, races 7 and 8 of thirteen.

With 29 racers currently eligible to enter the ROC and one more chance with Saturday’s regular race to get in, the competition this weekend will be fierce.
“The Race of Champions is a great bonus race that will highlight the top contenders in the TNT series,” commented Ian Hill of Dilts Piston Hydraulics. “I for one will be stationed on the finish line watching the action Saturday night!”
As an added bonus, Laurie Orr has posted two bounty awards, one for Saturday – Take out the points leader (Sam LoVetro Jr) and win $100, and one for Sunday – Take out Saturdays ROC winner and pocket $150.
