July 5 /10 - Western Speedway again presented a full race program that featured the Island Dwarf Cars, the I.M.S. 4 Mini Stocks, and the Stock Car Series. Three generations of the Steen family took to the track with Gentleman Jim Steen, racing since day one, his son Kerry who has Championships in his resume, and the youngest; Brandon Steen; who at fifteen years of age has been ripping it up in the Bomber Series trying his luck for the first time in the highly competitive Stock Car Series.

Brandon Hutchinson and Sam Hunt led the field of twenty cars to the green flag for the start of seventy-five laps of racing in the Stock Car Series. Hutchinson got the early lead followed by Hunt, Kyle Cottam, Kerry Steen, and Larry Graham as the rest of the field jockeyed for positions. On lap six Cottam took over the second spot dropping Hunt back one spot for the next three laps and Graham dropping him back another spot on lap nine. One lap later, Cottam took over the lead and was quickly followed by Graham and Ryan Wade taking the third spot two laps later. Graham diced with Cottam lap after lap until the yellow came out on lap sixteen as a couple of cars got together coming out of turn four. On the double file restart, Cottam had Wade on his outside as they came around for the green flag. Cottam again got the advantage and went back to the lead with Graham and Wade running bumper to bumper behind him.

On lap twenty, Aaron Wilkie moved up to run fourth dropping Steen back to fifth. Over the next twenty plus laps the top five drivers ran bumper to bumper and kept looking for the smallest of openings. On lap forty-five, Wilkie moved to the inside of Wade and took over the third spot while Graham kept the pressure on Cottam who was still holding the lead.
On lap fifty-five, a spinning car brought out the next yellow flag and on the double file restart, Wade had the outside groove with Cottam on the inside and quickly got the advantage taking over the lead. The positions changed virtually on every lap as Cottam, Wilkie, and Graham raced side by side for a couple of laps until Dan Myers spun on turn one bringing out another yellow flag. On this double file restart, Wilkie found himself to the outside of Wade with Graham and Cottam still in the mix. Graham moved into the second spot on lap fifty-nine but slipped just enough for Wilkie to take the spot on lap sixty-two.

Behind the four front runners, Jason Frost, driving the #14 car for this event, moved up to run fifth with Steve Copp running in this tight group as well. On lap seventy, Graham tagged Wilkie just enough to spin the second place car out and this resulted in a yellow flag for the race and a black flag for Graham. Wade this time would have Frost on his outside with Cottam, Steen, and Wilkie still in the mix. When the dust settled five laps later, Wade held on for the win followed by Cottam, Kerry Steen, Wilkie, and Frost rounding out the top five positions. Wade said: "The car wasn't right. We chased it all night but we'll take the win". This was a very competitive race from start to finish as we have grown accustomed to in this Series. As for the young Brandon Steen he only placed second in the Dash, first in a Heat race and top ten in the Feature. Not too bad for the first time in a Stock Car.

June 15 /10 - Due to a scheduling conflict, the race originally scheduled for August 14, 2010 has been cancelled.


June 15 /10 - Larry Graham came from his eleventh starting spot and held off many challenges from Ryan Wade, Rory Smith, and Aaron Wilkie and won the Jerry Ferry Memorial race at Victoria's Western Speedway Saturday night in a thrilling 100 lap race for the Stock Car Series.

The Stock Cars got off to a great start as Rory Smith, Aaron Wilkie, Ryan Wade, and Larry Graham faced off in the A Trophy Dash. Wilkie got a nose ahead of Smith on the first lap as all four cars ran side by side and bumper to bumper throughout the four laps just the way it began. Coming out of turn four Wilkie slapped the frontstetch wall a bit but kept the hammer down and won the drag race to the checkered flag by just a few inches over Smith while Ryan Wade tried to get inside Smith and placed third just a fender behind the second place car in a three way bid for the checkered flag.

Brandon Hutchinson and Ronnie Kiefert led a field of eighteen Stock Cars to the green flag for one-hundred laps of racing for the Jerry Ferrie Memorial trophy. On the very first lap, Mike Rutty got tagged and slammed into the frontstretch wall with a hard hit. He seemed to be fine other than soreness in his back. After a full restart Kiefert took the lead on lap three and held that until lap eight when Rory Smith passed and took over the lead on lap nine with Kiefert, Dave Reside, Steve Copp, and Ryan Wade taking the positions behind the new leader. On lap fourteen Wade moved up to take over the second spot dropping Kiefert back to third with Copp and Daryl Crocker occupying the next positions. On lap seventeen Larry Graham moved up to run in the fourth spot as Smith and Wade started to gain a big advantage over the rest of the pack running bumper to bumper. The battle behind the frontrunners was intense with Graham, Copp, and Wilkie diceing for positions in the running order. On lap thirty-two the red flag came out as the Provincial ambulance was called in to take Mike Rutty to the hospital for further examination after the big crash earlier in the event. After a few minutes delay, Wade lined up on Smith's outside in a double file restart with Smith again grabbing the early advantage. Wade remained glued to the leader trying numerous times over the next several laps to get by but each time fell a little short of making a clean pass. At times there was a freight train with Smith, Wade, Graham, Wilkie, and Copp with no space between them running bumper to bumper lap after lap. On lap fifty-two, Graham went to the inside of Wade and into the second spot only to have the caution flag come out three laps later as track crews were called to turn four to clean up a mess. On the double file restart, Graham was on the outside of Smith as the field retook the green flag. Wade rubbed Smith just enough to allow Graham to come out of the scrum with the outright lead almost going three wide coming down the frontstretch. By lap fifty-eight, Graham led followed by Wade, Smith, Kyle Cottam, and Wilkie in the top five positions. Over the next several laps, Wade tried everything in the book to get by Graham and again fell just short. On lap seventy-seven the caution flag came out as Billy Stidston's car came to a stop at the exit to turn four. On yet another double file restart, Graham now had Wilkie on his outside as the field took the green flag. Graham again gained the lead with Wade still glued to the bumper and still trying to get by. Graham managed to gain a couple car lenghts advantage over the next few laps and again Wade reeled him in to run bumper to bumper by the ninety-third lap. On lap ninety-four, Wade ran hard for the inside trying again for the lead but spun himself out bringing out a caution. Wilkie again had the ouside for the double file restart with the laps running out and a fierce battle with Graham, Cottam, Wilkie, Smith, and Copp still in the hunt. On lap ninety-seven Smith entered the pits after running out of fuel and in the mix all night. When the dust settled, Graham hung on for the win followed by Cottam, Copp, Wade, and Crocker rounding out the top five positions in a very highly contested Stock Car event.

May 31/10 - Saturday's program featured Trophy Dashes for the Stock Car Series, Heat races for both classes as well as Feature events for each Series. Ryan Wade and Ronnie Kiefert were victorious in Trophy Dash action while Wade and Aaron Wilkie took the honors in Heat race action.
   Ronnie Kiefert and Sam Hunt shared the front row for seventy-five laps of racing in the competitive Stock Car Series running for the Lorraine and Jim Haslam Memorial Trophy on Hall of Fame Night. Kiefert got the early lead followed by Hunt, Brent Smith, Kyle Cottam, and Dave Reside. Reside moved into the fourth position after four laps dropping Cottam back a spot. On lap sixteen, the yellow flag came out as Smith got involved with Daryl Crocker going through turn one and two. Crocker spun out and Smith had nowhere to go and spun out himself breaking the rear axle thus ending his night after running in third.
    On a double file restart, Kiefert now had Ryan Wade on his outside to take the green flag. Wade quickly took the lead position and was followed by Dan Myers, Kiefert, and Aaron Wilkie. On lap twenty, Wilkie moved up to third while Steve Copp took up the fourth spot one lap later. On lap twenty-four, Wilkie continued his charge forward by taking the second spot from Myers. On lap thirty-six, the yellow came out followed quickly by the red flag as Jeff Hamstra came to a stop on turn four while track crews cleaned oil or water off the track.
     After a short delay, Wilkie lined up on Wade's outside for the resumption of racing. Wade got out to the lead on the restart with Wilkie on his bumper and Myers still in the mix. On lap thirty-nine, Daryl Crocker moved into the fifth spot dropping Kiefert back to sixth. Over the next several laps, Wilkie tried everything to get by Wade dropping back several car lenghts and then getting up to the rear bumper on Wade again as they were going through lapped traffic. On lap seventy, the yellow came out and Wade entered the pits with a flat tire handing the lead to Wilkie, a lead he would hold for the checkered flag. Myers hung on for the second spot with Copp, Wade, and Crocker rounding out the top five positions.

May 10/10 - Eighteen nice looking Stock Cars checked in led by Jim Steen and Mike Rutty for fifty scheduled laps for a Feature event. As the field entered turn one Jeff Hamstra made a daring move and dove to the inside and grabbed the early lead going down the backstretch followed by Chris MacInerny and Dave Reside. Reside took over the second spot only three laps gone while Ryan Wade, back behind the wheel of the #95 car, jumped up to run third after five laps.
  On lap six the yellow caution came out for a major crash coming out of turn four as Sam Hunt, Daryl Crocker, and Geoff Morris all got together with Hunt and Crocker into the frontstretch wall and Morris sliding to a stop in the center of the track. All drivers were unhurt but Hunt and Crocker's night would be finished with major damage done to both cars. Morris was able to drive away and with a little work would return to the race. At the same time, it was discovered that transmission oil had leaked onto the track so the race was halted for cleanup of the wreck and the oil.
   After several minutes delay, Ryan Wade and Jeff Hamstra led a double file restart back to green flag racing as officials dropped the fifty laps to thirty-five as the time became a factor. With the drop of the green flag, Wade quickly took over the lead and began to run away with Hamstra, Reside, Larry Graham, and MacInerny lining up behind him. Dan Myers took a turn running fifth but on lap seventeen surrendered that position to Aaron Wilkie. On lap twenty-two the yellow came back out as Garrett Smith spun around. This time Wade had Wilkie on his side for the double file restart. Wade again got the advantage and went back to the lead with Wilkie running second. Over the remaining laps the field ran clean as Wade took the checkered flag followed by Wilkie, Cottam, Graham and Hamstra rounding out the top five in another tough and very competitive Stock Car Feature even

April 30 /10 - Dale Armstrong is interested in racing with the Stock Car club, but he needs a place to store his car. If anyone can help, please contact Dale @ (250)-478-8911, or Cell (250) 893-8997


April 12/10 - Western Speedway opened the 2010 racing season with the Island Dwarf Car Series, the I.M.S. 4 Mini Stocks, and the Stock Car Series on Saturday night and it was a tough opening for the Stock Cars. The night's action included Trophy Dashes for each series plus Heat races and the exciting Feature events.

Fifteen beautifully prepared Stock Cars took the green flag for forty laps of racing with Sam Hunt and Chris Mackinerny on the front row. For the first eight laps Mackinerny and Hunt ran door handle to door handle with each driver trading the lead while side by side racing behind them left little room for errors. Mike Rutty and Dave Reside got together early spinning in turn one but no caution flag as they got going in the right direction. Jeff Hamstra, Aaron Wilkie, and Kyle Cottam were packed together behind the front runners. On lap eight the yellow came out as several cars got tangled on the frontstretch that included Hamstra, Wilkie, and Kirt Rompain driving Ryan Wade's #95 car. Rompain tried to duck to the inside of Wilkie and Hamstra but got collected up with Hamstra's car sitting on the hood of both Rompain and Wilkie's as they struck the inside front wall. Wilkie and Hamstra returned to racing but Rompain's ride was pulled to the pits with a lot of damage all around. On the double file restart, Mackinerny and Hunt found themselves running side by side again for the next four laps. Behind them, Larry Graham, Dave Reside, Daryl Crocker, Dan Myers, and Steve Copp were all packed together challenging each position. Graham made an inside move going three wide through turn one and that didn't work as everyone got shuffled around. On lap fifteen, Graham and Reside got locked together as they wnet by the start finish line bringing out a yellow flag. They got themselves unlocked and rejoined the field. On the restart, Hunt and Mackinerny still shared the front row but Hunt entered the pits before the next lap was complete. By lap seventeen, Mackinerny had Daryl Crocker and Dan Myers to contend with. Crocker made a daring move on lap twenty-one and grabbed the lead with Myers and Graham still in the mix. After one more lap the yellow came out again as Myers had trouble going through turn four. On the restart, Graham and Crocker led the field around to green and the trading of positions started once again. On lap twenty-six, Graham got the clear lead from Crocker with Reside now running third. On lap thirty-one, Wilkie took over the third spot with everyone still in a tight pack. On lap thirty-seven Wilkie made the pass for second dropping Crocker back to third and Reside fourth. On the very last lap, Steve Copp got by Reside and settled for fourth. Up front, Graham took the checkered flag with Wilkie and Crocker finishing second and third respectively.

This Series has always been competitive and if tonight was an indication of things to come, it should prove to be an action packed event night after night.

Feb 16 /10 - A recent Email from ISCRA Secretary Kim Ferrie:
Ok, here are a few changes for the up coming year.

  • 1st and most important there has been talk about changes to the Cylinder heads for the home built motors. Below there is an email that I have been asked to forward on to everyone from Dave (Head Tech) in regards to this issue. If there are any questions regarding this please contact Dave directly by email.
    "With further examination of the T.B.I. cylinder heads that were discussed at the stock car rules meeting " The 1987 through to 1994 cylinder heads will not just bolt on to an earlier block and fit the older style intake manifolds without modification. Therefore they will be omited from the rule changes, and the cylinder head rule will stay the same." Thanks, Dave   dwmechanic2003@yahoo.ca
  • 2nd - Steel braided brake lines are now allowed as a result of safety issues (optional)
  • 3rd- 4" ride heights are now allowed for leaf sprung cars only (eg, Nova)
  • 4th - 1/2" bolts are allowed to bolt idler arms and mount control and trailing arms on metric cars
  • 5th - Memebership fees have increased this year to $150.00 (this includes car #, driver and 4 crew members, each additional crew member is $30.00) Reason for this increase is to reduce the cost of your banquet tickets at the end of the year, (which always seems to be an issue with some people), as well I know that it is easier money wise for most of you at the beginning of the year then paying more for your banquet tickets at the end of the year, as well as your crew members should be members of the club if they are in anyway going to be part of any desicions that are made within the club.
  • 6th - ROOKIES - Starting positions are up to the discrection of the driver. We do not have a rule on this, so if you choose to start in your qualifying position or choose to start at the back it is up to you, but please let me know before I do up the lineups at the beginning of the racing events. When making this desicion please take into concideration your fellow racers and drive to your ablility not the ability of others.
  • 7th - The 1 second rule will be in affect for EVERY race this year, regardless of how may cars we have. This means, that the cars who have qualified 1 second or slower than the fast qualifier will start the main event at the rear of the field. (No passing points will be in effect for these cars)
  • 8th - For those of you who rent transponders, Darrell has offered you all a deal. If you pay your transponder rental for the year on our FIRST race night, April 10th (tentative) you will only be charged $100.00 instead of $15.00 per night, savings of approx $50.00. GREAT DEAL !!!!!
  • 9th - I am working with Harold on arranging a second 100 lap race. The dates that we are looking at that might work are May 8th or Sept 25th (Championship Night), as soon as a desicion has been made I will let you know.
  • 10th- And finally, 2010 Rule Books are in the process of being printed. Thank you very much to Gene Clutchey for taking care of this for us, greatly appreciated. I will be out at the first couple practices to issue these and your memberships to you all. If you are able to come out and get your memberships from me on these nights that would be much appreciated as our first night of racing is going to be a crazy busy night for me.

If anybody has any questions about any of these changes (other than the Tech Rules) please contact me by email or phone ASAP. ************ Just under 8 weeks till our first race of the year. GOOD LUCK to everyone in the 2010 race season.*************

Nov 11/09 - The Island Stock Car Racing Association lost a good friend this week with the sudden passing of Debbie Cooper.

Before our club was formed, Debbie worked hard for all the drivers and teams to make sure our best interests were being looked after. She took care of the points and pay-outs, offered a shoulder to cry on when you had a bad night, and wasn't afraid to tell you to get your head out of your butt if she thought you were being stupid.

Respected by all - loved by many - she'll be sorely missed.

Debbie Cooper 1963 - 2009  'She lived her Dash'
