Today on A Look Ahead we sit down with Cam Thomson to talk about his upcoming 2024 season, in 2023, the 20 year old from Ohsweken, Ontario raced in two divisions. Racing in the Strickland's 602 Crate Sprint on Friday Night at Ohsweken Speedway then make his way to Flamboro Speedway to compete in the Pure Stock division on Saturday nights. It was an up and down season for the driver as he was still able to work his way into victory lane in his pure stock. In the Crate Sprint it was a learning curve for the rookie driver. The highlight (For us anyways) was watching Cam in the Northern Crate Sprint Nationals at Ohsweken Speedway in September of last season. Starting dead last in the C-Main after missing his heat race raced his way into the B-Main. A late race caution is the help Cam get into position for a two lap shootout racing his way from ninth to fifth by taking the high side and raced his into the A-Main. You an re-live all the action of that night below.
With an all new season on the horizon Cam is gearing up for another busy summer, once again racing two divisions. Cam will be piloting the 28T in the Strickland's 602 Crate Sprint division onFriday Nights at Ohsweken Speedway for his family run CT Racing team. On Saturday night, Cam will be once again piloting the 28T but this time under the BT Racing team banner. After conversations last season and ultimately selling his pure stock at the end of last season Cam is looking forward to chasing a championship after being close in 2022 and having in an off year in 2023. "My mindset going into this season is just to be consistent with everything." Says Thomson. "Last season we were hit and miss on both cars, I'd like to change that and put on a run in both cars." Adds Thomson.
With a full slate of races covering five tracks across the province is sure to keep Cam busy. On top of running full time at Ohsweken Speedway (17 events) and Flamboro Speedway (21 events), Cam and his team are looking forward to travelling to Sunset Speedway on July 13th for the Bone Stock Hilltop Nationals with $1,000 to win. Sauble Speedway on July 31st for the Dash for Cash $1300 to Win. Delaware Speedway on August 16th, Brighton Speedway on August 31st and September 1st for the Labour Day Classic and to end the season at Peterborough Speedway for the 31st edition of the Autumn Colours Classic. With over 40 events scheduled this year it's hard for Cam to pick just one event to look forward to. "The Crate Sprint Nationals and Frostoberfest are on my list." Adds Cam.
With every new season there is always changes made in the off season to better the program during the season. For Thomson that is just the case, Cam will be having to adjust on the pavement side as he will have to adjust to a BT Racing Bone Stock which Thomson understands heading into this season. Though he understands there will be a transition period he is excited to see what he can do with it. The toughest part is the competition, last year it was tough to gain points as everyone got better and faster.
Over on the dirt side of things Cam sent out his motor to be refreshed in hopes to be more competitive this season. Cam shows week in and week out how fast he can be and how much he is willing to move around to find grip to go fast. The Crate Sprint division is one of the most competitive classes out there. "This season will take some work to put myself where I want to be by the time championship night rolls around." Says Thomson.
