The best drivers from Ontario, Québec and Northern New-York participate in this series. The first race will be held on May 19 with Sunday, August 4 and will end during the Jiffy 200 event on September 1st.

One of the most favourite events of the season is the visit of the Super DIRTcar Big-Block Series, all the stars and cars of that series will make a stop at Cornwall on Sunday, June 30 as they will compete in a 100-lap event. Local star Chris Raabe had surprised everyone by winning last year`s event.
