May 17: Bear Ridge Speedway

(practice starts at 5pm)

May 31:  Legion Speedway

Hello to all members:

We had our season opener at Canaan Speedway under threatening skies on May 9th.
The 500 division started off the night with their heat. The fans saw a good battle for several laps between Josh Boissoneau and Ray Hanson with Boissoneau holding off Hanson for the win. Hanson took second followed by Lacey Hanson, Mike Willis Jr. and Troy Boissoneau with mechanical problems.

The 600’s went out for their 1st heat of the year and also gave a great show down with Brian Gray and Matt Robie battling for the front with Brian edging out Matt for the victory. They were followed by Dave Morgan (with a broken nose wing), Mike Stewart, Don Collins, Christine Boesch, Matt Seavey and John Moses all having mechanical problems.

When the features came around the action continued starting with the 500’s Ray Hanson and Lacey Hanson put on a great wheel to wheel battle for the large Canaan crowd. Ray crossed the line 1st with just inches in front of Lacy 3rd went to Josh Boissoneau followed by Mike Willis Jr. and Troy Boissoneau finishing in 5th with car problems.

The 600’s took to the track and Brian Gray lead most of the feature and won it by having a well set up car and smooth driving skills. Matt Robie, Mike Stewart and Dave Morgan challenged a few times but no cigar. When the checkered flag dropped it was Brian, Matt, and John Moses, Mike Stewart and Don Collins with Dave Morgan and Matt Seavey having mechanical issues and not finishing the race.

Our next show will be Saturday May 10th at Bear Ridge and hope to see everyone there. Just a reminder Bear Ridge practices start at 5pm so be sure to be there early.

The club would like to wish David Howes a quick recovery from some recent surgery; David get well soon we want you back on the track!

Thank you
Troy B

ONE WAY SCANNER:

I had mentioned earlier that the club was considering having all drivers use a one way radio so that you can hear what is going on in the tower. I was able to confirm with Canaan and Bear Ridge they have given us the ok to use them I still need to confirm with Legion.

The board feels that this will help if there is any confusion as to where you need to line up or if there is a caution flag and you have not seen it yet.

We are not too concerned with which brand you are buying but it must be ONE WAY I have found this one at Radio Shack Item# Race 1000 Price $179.99 I am sure there are other ones out there.

If you have any suggestions on any other models please let me know so we can get it posted on the web for other members.
