Brantford’s Mitchell Brown doesn’t turn sixteen until late this month but like most youngsters his age, he’s already planning to drive a lot of kilometres this summer. And despite the restrictions placed on new drivers in Ontario he also plans to drive hard and to drive fast.
Fact is, he has already logged hundreds of kilometres behind the wheel and without the reminders of someone barking out instructions to slow down, signal your turn or leave plenty of room between you and the other cars.
Mitchell Brown is a third generation stock car racing driver and son of veteran competitor Doug Brown. His grand dad Harold Brown was a renowned Supermodified and Late Model regular on Ontario ovals in the early 1960s through 1970s.
Last season, the youngest member of the racing family finished second in Ohsweken Speedway’s Mini Stock points’ standings where he won four feature events. He also competed in two Ontario Sportsman Series races where his poise and performance drew favourable comments from several of the series’ regulars.
This season, Mitchell will again run the weekly card of events in Ohsweken’s Mini Stock Division hoping to capture the championship that he narrowly missed last season. He also plans to run regularly in the Ontario Sportsman Series if sponsorship can be obtained.
“I really want to run the full OSS schedule. It’ a great series for competing on paved ovals and to gain the added experience I need to further my development,” the teenager responded enthusiastically when queried on his plans. “I’m hoping some area businesses will recognize the favourable exposure and marketing opportunities the sports provides especially to families.”
