By Randy Spencer-Cambridge, Ontario – November 21, 2012 – After a very successful season in 2011 that saw Brad Collison of Cambridge, Ontario being crowned Thunder Car Champion at Flamboro Speedway, the entire team was ready to go. A long time sponsor of racing, the team is headed up by Mike Schmidt of London Recreational Concrete Pools and Spas, a long time racer and supporter of CSRA Snow Cross and stock car racing. The auto racing side consists of #13 Brad Collison in Thunder Cars, #71 Russ Aicken in Mini Stocks, #13 Justin Collison in karting and Shawn Chenoweth who race the #89 Thunder Car and #29 Super Late Model. The highlight of the year dubbed the Frost Fest 120, the London Recreational Thunder Car and Mini Stock Challenge had a total purse of $10,000 up for grabs with multitude of other prizes for all those that made the features. It was held at Flamboro Speedway October 21st. Here is a break down of the season that each racer experienced in 2012.

Justin Collison races in the Waterloo Regional Kart Club in the Junior Heavy Class. The sixteen year old third generation racer is known as Ice Man Junior around the Collison Racing pit. In 15 races, Justin picked up 3 feature wins which included thirteen top 5 finishes and ten top 3 finishes and had a 2nd overall finish in the championship race. “I would say it was a solid year,” Justin said. “I want to thank Mike Schmidt of London Recreational Concrete Pools and Spas, Bennett GM, Ideal Brake Parts, Castro Edge, Whoosh, Prowraps, Collison Racing, Forsters Septic Pumping, my father Brad & grandfather Jim, and all the friends and family that support me. Wouldn’t be able to do it without you guys.” (more…)

2012 CSRA TEAM OF THE YEAR

By Randy Spencer / Flamboro Speedway Millgrove, Ontario
Brad Collison is no stranger to the Winner’s Circle. Thee 44 year old Cambridge native has been winning races at tracks all over Ontario and this year marked his 30th year behind the wheel. He started his racing career in Go-Karts, then followed his dad Jim into the Canadian Vintage Modified series. The Enduro division was the next stop and finally he jumped into a Thunder Car. Brad raced for several years at Delaware Speedway near London but returned to Flamboro Speedway in Millgrove in 2004. That year he wore the crown as Thunder Car track champion. Since then Brad has consistently finished in the top 5 every year.

Known as “The Ice Man” Brad and his team were ready for another strong and exciting season in 2011. Just prior to the start of the season, Flamboro Speedway announced a special Canada Day Race of Champions Event to help celebrate the track’s 50th anniversary. Nascar stars Jimmy Spencer, Ernie Irvan and Kenny Schrader would compete with the regular racers at Flamboro in a Thunder Car showdown. Collison Racing had an extra car so they offered one of the stars to pilot their race car for this special event at Flamboro. More about that later. Brad got off to a good start and as always was very consistent with a couple of wins and several top 5 feature finishes. Due to the handicapping system at Flamboro, the higher points cars would start near the back every week and Brad almost always was deep in the field but still found his way to the front.
