The
2012 season is just around the corner and the Star members are getting
in shape as they attended the test and tune at Seekonk Speedway on April
7th. The
test and tunes are a great opportunity to get the bugs out of the race
cars before the season begins on May 26th.
A list of test and tune are on the website and in the newsletter
for members to have a chance to attend a test and tune in their area
before the racing season begins. |

STAR MEMBER BOBBY TURNER INDUCTED IN MAINE'S MOTORSPORTS HALL OF FAME |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bobby Turner, a 37-year veteran of the industry, Bobby brings spirit to
the Senior Tour. Turner drove in his first competitive race at the age of fifteen.
Being under age Bobby used his brother’s name Don so he could
compete. Three races later,
Turner would take his first victory at the Hudson Speedway in New
Hampshire. Turner initiated his racing career at Beech Ridge in 1965 in the “B
Class”. Moving on to “A Class”, Turner won “Rookie of the
Year” and a “Championship” in both divisions before moving up to
the Modified Division at Stafford and Thompson Speedways in 1969. Bobby
has raced Modifieds all over New England and as far south as
Martinsville Speedway in Virginia. Turner sat on the pole at the 1st
Spring Sizzler in 1972, finishing in16th place after blowing a tire. Bobby returned to Beech Ridge in 1979, winning the Canadian Classic three
consecutive years and in 1985 won the last four Modified races including
the last race on the old clay racing surface.
When the Modified division was eliminated in 1990, Bobby raced
competitively every week at the Claremont Speedway in New Hampshire.
The Modified Division was dissolved at Claremont in 2000, where
he stopped racing competitively every week. Bobby continues to be involved in racing, competing in vintage races with
the STAR Tour and continues to build vintage race cars. It was so great to see so many STAR members attend
the induction ceremonies on March 31st in Augusta Maine.
Senior Tour is proud to congratulate member Bobby Turner for being
inducted to the Maine Motorsports Hall of Fame for class 2012. Lets’ take a peak of the Turner’s “Toy Boxes”
as Star president Charlie Lima and race director Mary Lima spent the
following day under the hospitality of the Turners. I will not show all but will give a peak of the eras
of Bobby Turner. |
