What is Buxton Speedway’s recording policy?

Our track recording policy are very similar & parts of our policy section is the exact same as (2) out of the (3) other Dirt Tracks in Ontario. 

They are the same recording policy – rules as they have been, before The “Marche” family purchased the speedway in 2024.

Meaning there has been no rule changes or adjustments to the speedway recoding policy.
