Land and Sea Dyno at Grand Bend Speedway

In an effort to address concerns with technical inspections and previous seal identifications on Honda 6.5, 9.0 and 13 horsepower engines competing at Grand Bend Speedway on 2022 and beyond.
We have in our possession a Land and Sea Dynomite engine dyno that will be in our tech building to use at anytime needed.
This engine dyno (feel free to google it) is capable of horsepower reading of the complete engine and all bolted on components with a tolerance of .003 horsepower on it’s computer setup.
We feel this will keep competition fair and reliable plus give winning teams the opportunity to prove themselves to all who may question their speed and skills.
Thank you to Tabitha for supplying such a valuable tool for our technical staff to use.
Grand Bend Speedway ownership continues to do our best to improve our facility and provide a safe and enjoyable experience for all who attend.

Honda Engine Technical Update

With the 2022 racing season approaching at Grand Bend Speedway we have monitored recent posts and responses on social media in regards to rules.GBS has come to the conclusion that our 6.5hp, 9hp and 13hp Honda engine classes will be technically inspected (ENGINE RELATED) based on lap times and visual performance. We will be asking for the complete engine with all add-ons in running condition (as raced) to be removed and submitted for post race component and dyno inspection if needed.This is “IF and WHEN” necessary and needed to be enforced. Engine inspection should be treated as a complement to being fast and necessary for equality and fair racing at GBS.Please have the proper tools for removal and be aware of our position with you and your equipment for the proper amount of time for off sight inspection to occur and be released.There is not cost to you if your engine is legal.We appreciated our race team commitment to competing in a fair and equal setting at GBS and look forward to the 2022 season.

Grand Bend Speedway is pleased to launch its new website in anticipation of the 2022 racing season.

National Compact Touring Series heading to Grand bend speedway in 2022

National Compact Touring Series Presented by Rev X Oil with Grand Bend Speedway.

NCTS Heads to Canada (Battle Creek, MI) The National Compact Touring Series presented by Rev X Oil is excited to announce our first event outside of the United States.

The tour will be heading to North of the border to Grand Bend Speedway in Ontario, Canada. The D-shaped 1/4 mile asphalt track will host the first ever “Battle at the Border 50” featuring drivers from the United States and Canada on Saturday, July 30th, 2022.

The Grand Bend Speedway also host a road course and drag strip at the racing venue. The Parkhill, Ontario venue also will host free camping for our race teams allowing them to make this a family vacation. There are many tourist attractions near the speedway that will make this a family event. “We are planning this to be a yearly event to help grow the oval track at our speedway,” stated, Gord Bennett, Grand Bend Speedway Promoter “You have to plant a seed to grow the tree before it blooms to make this a special event.”

The National Compact Touring Series was preparing to invade Canada over the last few years before the pandemic hit. The Canadian market is expected to help the growth the of series for larger future events in Michigan and New York. With the Canadian border reopening this year its basically a passage connecting Michigan to New York. The National Compact Touring Series 2022 schedule is nearing completion and is expected to be released in November.
