Earlier this month at the 2014 Canadian Motorsports Expo, the Lucas Oil Can-Am Midgets released their 2014 schedule.
These three-quarter midgets only weighing 890 lbs with the driver are light-weight and fast, no matter the venue they attend, producing lots of side-by-side racing.
The Cam-Am Midgets will kick off their season with a trip to the tight confines of Flamboro Speedway on May 10th. Then the following weekend, they’ll head to Sunset Speedway for a Sunday event on the 3/8 high-banked oval.
On June 14th, they will head to Peterborough Speedway, before going back to Flamboro on the 21st.
They will start July off with a trip to Grand Bend Speedway, a 1/4 mile with only 12 degrees of banking in the corners, on the 5th. They’ll make a return visit to Sunset on the 12th, before heading to the tight Barrie Speedway on the 19th. They’ll finish off July with a trip back to Flamboro on the 26th.
The month of August will kick off with a double-header at Sauble Speedway on the 2nd and the 3rd, before once again hitting Flamboro on the 9th. On August 16th, they will join the ISMA Super Modifieds at Sunset Speedway for a special show. They’ll then finish August off with a trip to Grand Bend on the 23rd and Sauble on the 30th.
The championship will be awarded at the final event of the season, which takes place at Flamboro Speedway on September 20th. Last year saw Mack DeMan pick up his first career championship.
DeMan started racing go-karts at the age of seven in the Waterloo Regional Kart Club, winning races and championships. From there, he graduated to the Can-Am Midget ranks and currently races the No. 40 Lucas Oil sponsored Can-Am Midget for car owner Andy Mackereth.
After finishing third in points in 2012, DeMan came out last year, strong all season and was able to take home the championship.
“Each year you learn more about set-up and how to run well on track,” he commented earlier this month. “Lots of talent is coming up ranks we’ll have our work cut out next year.”
