Boat racing returning to Saratoga Speedway Saturday

A fan favourite race is making its return to Saratoga Speedway this weekend. 

Boat racing returns to the track Saturday, June 14, which features the Sunwest RC Centre Crash to Pass racers. 

Cole Sorenson with Saratoga Speedway said the objective of the race is to smash the other competitors’ boat off the back of their car. 

“It’s pretty simple, at the end of the allotted time, the driver with the most boat left is declared the winner.” 

The last Crash to Pass race happened on May 31, with Victoria’s Kenny Baker winning that race. 

Other races will include the Ace Brewing Company Bombers and the Kyte Delivery Service A & B Class Hornets to finish the night. 

The winner of the boat race will take home a $1,500 prize. 

A 50/50 raffle will also be held by Canadian Tire Courtenay and Cyclepath’s charity cycling team with proceeds benefiting the Comox Valley Hospice Society.
