Sunny skies and warm temperatures greeted the AOW drivers as they hit the track for their first race of 2010n Sunday afternoon. Exciting side by side action was the order of the day as thirteen drivers raced for their first victories of the season.
The feature was marred by a couple of explosive accidents as defending champion Sparky Raeburn hit the wall in turn 4 and then moments later, a broken axle caused two more cars to collide and hit the wall just past the exit of turn 2.

AOW Tour beginning to grow again.
After reaching a high of over 30 cars a few years ago then falling on hard times and watching their numbers dwindle to 6 to 8 cars at most events last year, the Annual Meeting held last Saturday, March 27th, at the MMHOF was strongly attended. Several new drivers and cars have been acquired thus assuring 12 to 15 cars at most of their events in 2010. The Tour is aiming at 10 races for this season with some of the best short track racing around to be seen.
Annual General Meeting March 27th @ 1:30pm
The 2010 Atlantic Open Wheel Tour Annual General Meeting will be held at the Maritime Motorsports Hall of Fame in Petitcodiac (5 Hooper Lane - Exit 233 off Route 1) on March 27th @ 1:30pm.
