Now in its thirty-second season, the Ontario Stock Car Association of Asphalt Racers (OSCAAR) is
responsible for sanctioning two divisions: Modified and Hot Rod.
The Modified division, which receives backing from Queenston Chevrolet Buick GMC, draws many competitors and features some exciting races. Due to COVID 19, the last couple of years have resulted in fewer races and limits on spectator attendance. In 2022, the Federal and Provincial governments have listed many of the restrictions, which means OSCAAR has a full calendar and will see the return of fans. There are thirteen races on the 2022 OSCAAR Modified schedule.
The cars competing in this class are purpose-built open-wheel vehicles. The Modifieds use a steel tube frame chassis, which is no less than 1-3/4-inch outside diameter with 0.095-inch wall thickness. Bodies are made of sheet metal, with the driver’s compartment and engine bay covered. The cars may be any make or model, but they tend to have little to no resemblance to their road-going counterparts. The engine option selected by the car owner determines the weight of the vehicle. A Modified using 350-horsepower Crate Engine is the lightest at 2,600 pounds and 2,775 pounds is required for a car powered by a Built Motor. Weight may be added or removed depending on the choice of transmission. Many of the other rules governing the OSCAAR Modified class are for driver safety and to keep costs down. The ninth round of the 2022 Queenston Chevrolet Buick GMC OSCAAR Modified Series was held at Flamboro Speedway. The schedule initially included two heat races for each driver. However, the incident filled event caused many delays and with an 11:00 pm curfew at Flamboro, OSCAAR Officials cancelled the second heats. Drivers would compete in a forty-lap feature around the 1/3-mile semi-banked asphalt oval. However, a red-flag incident ended the contest on lap-30.

With five Queenston Chevrolet Buick GMC OSCAAR Modified Series feature wins in seven events (rain led to the cancellation of the previous round at Sauble Speedway) Andy Kamrath led the championship by a comfortable thirty-six point margin. Kamrath began the event with a victory in heat one and started the main in the seventh position. He chased the eventual winner, Jason Keen, until the race ended with a red flag. |

When the series stopped at Flamboro, he was thirty-six markers behind the points leader, Andy Kamrath. Edwards started the feature in sixth. He was in fourth-place when an incident caused him to leave the track, which led to the event ending with a red-flag. |
