Emo Speedway

Emo Speedway is a 3⁄8, high-banked, dirt oval racetrack located in Emo, Ontario, in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. It is located right inside the town on Colonization Road. Behind the racetrack is the Rainy River Valley Agricultural Society Fair Grounds. The track is located 30 km west of Fort Frances, and 52 km east of Rainy River along the border of Northern Minnesota, US.

The speedway was built in 1954 and hosted its season opener on July 30 of the same year. The original name for the track was Emo Speedway (According to the Fort Frances Times), although the name Emo Raceway(s) was also used.

Currently, Emo Speedway runs three divisions (classes) of cars. They include WISSOTA Modifieds, WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds, and Street Stocks. The season runs from mid-May to mid-September.

The Borderland Racing Association (BRA) is the Promoting Body of Emo Speedway. The BRA is a non-profit organization that operates under volunteer support and monetary sponsorship.

The beginning

The idea of building a racetrack in the Rainy River District happened in 1949 after Lyle Busch and Bob Oak went to Florida to watch the stock car races there. When they brought the idea of a track back to the area, they were unable to find suitable land. In 1950, Asselin went to Winnipeg to discuss the building of a track with the owner of Brooklyn Speedway. After long conversations, the owner of the Winnipeg track gave Asselin his technical information. In May 1954, Sid Asselin and Bob Oak had meetings to organize a construction of the track with the District Fair Board. It was decided in those meetings that it was to be built inside the already built horse track which is approximately 1/2 mile long. With help from the Emo Chamber of Commerce, the track became a reality.

The track was built as a fifth of a mile oval dirt oval. The decision for using clay instead of paved asphalt was due to the softer compound. This allowed the track to be more advantageous for drivers and spectators. There would be a less chance of serious accidents and the loose dirt would allow more skidding which let the cars permit more bumping and nudging while fighting for position. The track was not banked, but the idea of raising the banking in the future was brought up.

The original organizing body for the Emo Speedway/Raceway was the Borderland Stock Car Racing Company (BSCRC) which was created by Sid Asselin and Bob Oak.

History

1950s

Stock Car Racing opened up at the Emo Speedway on Friday July 30, 1954. Thirteen competitors showed up for the first night and included drivers such as #8 Sid Asselin, #60 Don Marsh, #100 Maurice Frenette, #5 Lyle Busch, Bill Benniger, #37 Raoul Cayer, Tom Hardy and others. Training had started the Sunday before and enough cars were ready by the 30th. A lighting system was built (The original blueprints have recently been discovered), and training took place under the lights during the week of the 23rd.

An estimated 2 500 spectators showed up to the first event (standing room only).

The races were featured for the first time at the Emo Fall Fair on August 14, 1954.

In 1955, the BSCRC was merged with the "International Driver's Club" (IDC).

The Emo Speedway continued racing until 1959, when diminishing crowds caused the IDC to run out of funds to continue.

It was $1.00 for Adults (Approx. $8 today) and .50 Cents for Kids (Approx. $4 today) for grandstand entrance.

1960s

The 1960s represented a golden age in racing. With the help of Glen Jackson and George Oltsher and others, the interest and support of racing in the community of Emo and surrounding area was on a large high during this period. The track had its reopening race in the summer of 1965.

Famous drivers such as #33 George Oltsher, Mel Jack, #1 Larry Jack, #38 Mike Andrusco, #25 Richard Visser, #7 Gary Reid, Gordie Lancaster, and Larry Long raced during this time.

1970s

The decade started out very well, still running off the great seasons of the 1960s. However, strife between the involved organizing bodies at Emo Raceway became a forefront in politics. People from one group wanted the rules and regulations a certain way, and a struggle between who should have control, organizing etc., occurred.

This led to a shutdown of the racetrack at the end of 1975. With the exception of a couple races during the Emo Fall Fair in the mid 70s, the track lay dormant from 1977 to 1982.

Drivers from this period were #6 Gary Wilson, #9 Ken Anderson and others.

1980s

In the winter of 1982/1983, a letter to the Editor was written to the Fort Frances Times regarding how missed the races were during the fair and that the races were the only real event that kept people coming back.

In response to this letter, Tom Jackson replied, saying that if there was enough support to start the races up again, he and others had no problem getting cars back on the track.

1983 was the first year of the return to racing at the track. Although it was not until 1986 when full seasons started, there were a couple of specials including the Fall Fair that were scheduled. Support was tremendous and some of the largest crowds ever seen at the track occurred during this time.

The Borderland Racing Association became incorporated in December 1985 and became the overseer of the Emo Speedway. At the end of the 1989 season, the organization made the decision to join the WISSOTA Promoters' Association with their Modified class (Starting in 1990). This allowed a common set of rules for all tracks in the region permitting more traveling by local and regional drivers.

Drivers such as #34 Tom Jackson, #8N Brian Nelson, #21 Dwayne Pihulak, #27(#3K)Peter Leek, #14F Greg Ferris, #43 Darren Ward, #12 Dwayne Pelepetz, #2R Ricky Roche and #5 Wes Morriseau started racing during this time.

1990s

In Spring of 1993, the Emo Grandstand that stood for ninety-three years was taken down and replaced by an aluminum grandstand with the support of local clubs and organizations including the Borderland Racing Association. The race season was delayed until June due to construction, and a roof was added in 1994.

In September, a tragedy happened when #01 Keith McNally rolled over multiple times in his Thunder Stock on the first lap of the feature. He did not survive his injuries. In remembrance, the Keith McNally Memorial was created to award the Street Stock driver who goes to the track consistently, works hard at racing, loves the sport, but unfortunately ends up towards the back. This was awarded to #4 Rick Bourre in 2008.

In 1994, Mini-Sprints were added to the regular schedule. The class had decent numbers for a first year schedule, with car counts as high as eight on most occasions. The class differed more to previous season classes by having a short wheelbase and wings for stability and down force.

In 1995, the Borderland Racing Association (BRA) changed hands to a private promoter named Sonny Ferris. Ferris, who had been the announcer, promoter, and track president for the past few years, decided the track might do better without a Board. Emo Speedway Inc. came into being, abolishing the BRA. However, decreasing car and fan counts in 1996 and 1997, led to Ferris quitting as private promoter. The Borderland Racing Association returned in 1998 with Ed Rea and others leading the new board of directors.

As quoted in the Fort Frances Times on March 18, 1998:

Ed Rea, who has been a fixture with the Emo Speedway since the mid-1960s,

will become the track’s new promoter, taking over from Sonny Ferris, who held that job for the past two seasons. Rea said the track simply could not be maintained under the private ownership of Ferris and instead will now be run as a non-profit organization. "They thought that by switching to a private owner, they could do better, but you just can’t make money [that way],

you need free help," Rea stressed yesterday.'

The race dates were also changed from Friday nights to Thursday nights to try increasing car and fan turnout. This, however, didn't work out well and race nights were subsequently changed in 1999 to Saturday.

The 1990s also saw the introduction of the Super Stock class and the Mini-Sprint class. The Super Stock class never caught on and counts remained low from 1995 to 1997, resulting in its drop. The Mini-Sprint class was unstable. The class increased and decreased on a week to week basis, but invitationals brought in a higher count of about 14 to 16 cars. But the Mini-Sprints fell to average only a few in 2004 and the class was dropped before the 2005 season.

Many invitationals ran during the 1990s, especially around the period of 1995 to 1997. Sonny Ferris hoped the larger payouts would draw in larger crowds and car counts. While car counts were larger because of the higher payouts during special events, fans seemed to get saturated by the sheer number of special events and as a result, regular nights saw decreasing numbers. As a result, large amounts of money were being offered, but little was returned for the track.

The 1990s saw drivers such as #15 Ron Westover, #18 Chris Shine, #16 Gavin Paull, #00 Steve Arpin, #18J Chad Jonson, #2X4 Ken Perry, #11 Anthony Visser and others started their racing careers during this time.

2000s

The success of the late 1990s began to return in the year 2000 since the reinstatement of the Borderland Racing Association. The beginning 2000 saw much of the success that had been taken While low attendance from fans had traditionally occurred during the opening few races, 2000 saw more than average crowds. Although not highly noticeable, it seems that 2000 was a more successful year.

Invitationals were canceled for the 2001 season. This was mainly due to the fact that more money was being lost than earned, and the latest Modified Invitational that took place on June 30 and July 1 of 2000 saw only a few traveling cars, and less than satisfying fan counts. At the end of 2001, new clay was added in the corners of the Speedway.

2001 saw the talented Steve Arpin dominant the WISSOTA Modified class. It was in this year where his talents became fully known to the community. During the summer, he won 13 of the 15 races that took place. It was his second championship title in 3 years. His career in the Modifieds took off soon after and in 2003, Steve raced a more limited schedule in Emo and raced abroad. His last visit to Emo was during the NOPA Super Truck Special which took place on June 18, 2005. Arpin has raced in ARCA, NASCAR Nationwide Series, and in the Camping World Truck Series.

2004 saw the introduction of a new class. Midwest Modifieds were created to make a cheaper alternative for open wheel racing such as the Modifieds. This allowed the older motors and chassis' that were used on Modifieds during the 1990s to be raced again. During the year, the Borderland Racing Association ran Street Stocks, Modifieds, Midwest Modifieds, and Mini-Sprints.

2004 also saw the placement of a new lighting system for the racetrack. A dozen or so Mercury-vapour lights replaced the older halogen lights which had been in place since the early-1980s. It also featured underground wiring that required less poles, which in turn, allowed an increase in fan view ability. A new pit canteen was also built in that year.

2005 was a down and up season. Firstly, the season got off to a rough start as the opener was canceled due to rain and the first two weeks of June were also rained out. The weekend of June 17 brought the first real sunshine and blue skies. The first invitational to be scheduled since 2000 took place on June 18. NOPA Super Trucks from Winnipeg, Manitoba visited Emo Speedway for the first time. Seven trucks made the long trip and a higher than usual turnout was seen in the grandstand. The rest of the season turnout very well in terms of weather, with the exception of Friday night of the Fall Fair, when two inches of rain two days before and rain all day race day made for a mess.

2006 started out much better than in 2005 as the season opener on May 20 took place as scheduled. The BRA decided to include rain dates set for 1:00pm on Sunday if the races were canceled on the Saturday night. The season only saw one rain date used which was on Sunday, August 13. 2006 also saw the return of Super Stocks to Emo Speedway in almost a decade. The Special took place on July 22, 2006, with 15 cars traveling from Thunder Bay, Ontario, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Bemidji, Minnesota, and Ashland, Wisconsin. The winner was Gary Nelson Jr. out of Blackduck, MN.

The 2007 season started on May 19 with cloudy skies and a temperature of 10C (50F). An average crowd for an opener braved the cold temperatures to watch the action. 2007 was a wet then dry season. One week after cold temperatures, a full day of rain the following Saturday canceled the races. The following week the Modified feature was rained out. June 9 was also a complete rain out. June 16 had beautiful weather, the first of the year, but the weekend after saw the features rained out. Canada Day Celebrations on June 30 had a double whammy. The features from June 23 ran plus a full show!

The second half of the season had only on rain out (July 14) but from then on it was great. The Super Stock Special of 2007 saw 15 cars once again compete. The added bonus was that they were also competing in the first year of the Northern Super Stock Touring Series, Emo being the second race of the three race series. The winner was #20 Kevin Penner of Blumenort, Manitoba, Canada.

The Emo Fall Fair drew a huge crowd and a large car count. 27 WISSOTA Modifieds appeared for day one while 23 showed for day two. In the WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds, 19 cars entered on day one and 22 entered on Day 2. In the Street Stocks, 15 started on Friday, and 14 started on Saturday. It was great weather and an exciting two nights of racing.

2008 was a wet start. Although the track would run its first four races of the season, there was no racing for three weeks out of four in June. On July 19, the Northern Super Stock Touring Series was rained out halfway after a record total of 16 WISSOTA Super Stocks had arrived. The race was rescheduled for August 2 where only 7 cars returned. However, the Annual Fall Fair Specials had beautiful weather. But on August 23 and September 6, the races were cut short and canceled respectively.

In late September, 300 dump truck loads (3,500 yards) of clay were added to the track. A complete resurfacing was done to the track.

In 2009, the Emo Speedway celebrated its 55th anniversary of the original opening of the track on July 25. A large crowd and over 125 drivers, past and present, attended the event. The winners were Greg Ferris in the WISSOTA Modifieds, Brady Caul in the WISSOTA Midwest Modifieds, and Scott Messner in the Street Stocks.

Since 2010
