TWIN
STATE SPEEDWAY |

Twin
State
Speedway
in
Claremont
,
NH
was the first stop for the double-header weekend for the Senior Tour
Auto Racers. On July 18th
Star rolled into Twin State Speedway with warm greetings from owner
Dennis Fleury. Star’s day
was going to be a busy one with warm-ups from 12:00 till 3:00 and after
warm ups Star held its annual picnic.
Hamburgers, hot dogs, steaks, fruit, salads and deserts of all
sort covered the Star picnic tables.
It was nice to see the owner Dennis Fleury, his wife and the
officials of Twin State all stop by and have a bit to eat and good
conversation with the Star members before racing began.
It was hot with overcastted skies.
Rain was in the forecast but it was all up to Mother Nature now.
Star’s first 15-lap feature to roll out onto the track was the
Sportsmen Division. Bob
Bateman from RI in his #17 Ford Pinto took over the lead half way
through the race to take down the checked for the Sportsmen division.
James Allen from Ma in his #46
Monte Carlo
finishes second and topping off third place was Dick Murphy from Ma in
his #V8 Ford coupe. Star’s
second 15-lap feature was the Modified Division.
Charlie Lima from Ma in his 2X coupe and Skip Stearns from NH in
his #84 Pinto battled side by side for first place lap after lap, only
to look into their rearview mirrors to see veteran Bob Pringle in his
#92 coupe, Danny Ferland in his #21 Pinto and Dewitt Davis in his #211
sedan breathing down on Lima and Stearns. With five laps to go Ferland
made his move to take down the checkered for the modified division.
Lima
and
Davis
battled it out for second place.
Lima
crossed his 2X coupe over the finish line to take down a second place.
Topping of the field for third place was Dewitt Davis from NH in his
#211. The top three place
winners from both divisions were taken to
Twin
State
’s
Victory Circle
to be interviewed, to take photos and presented with trophies. Star
would like to thank all the members who brought dishes of food for the
annual picnic. Star sends
out a very special thank you to Twin State Speedway for their
hospitality and a great night of racing

CANAAN
SPEEDWAY |

Canaan
Speedway in
Canaan
,
NH
was the second stop for the double-header weekend for the Senior Tour Auto
Racers. On July 19th
Star cars from MA, NH, CT, RI, VT and PA filled the
Canaan
pits. Canaan Speedway
scheduled the track for the Star cars to practice from 1:00 till 4:00.
As Star got ready to have their warm-ups Mother Nature had another
thought? The rain came and I mean it came!
It poured so hard the grounds were flooded.
I was sure no racing was going to take place that evening.
It rained from 1:00 till 5:00 with a halt as fast as it came!!
The sun broke out and it was off to racing for the Canaan Speedway.
All divisions tow trucks, cars, including Star cars dried off the
track and it was time to go. Star
was schedule for two 10-lap heats and two 15-lap features. Ronnie Bodge
from NH in his beautiful restored antique car paced the Star cars in both
the heats and features. In the
Sportsmen heat it was anyone race. The
battle was on as each lap a different car took over first place.
Only on the last lap James Allen from Ma in his #44 coupe shot to
the front and took the first checked for the tour that evening.
In the modified division who was going to cross the line first?
Every lap brought a new winner until Anthony Kubalak from PA in his
#6 Mayard Troyer car took the lead to take down the second victory for the
tour. Then it was time for the
Sportsmen 15-lap feature race. The Sportsmen put on quite a show.
Tight to the pack bumper to bumper lap after lap until Rick
MacDowell from Ma in his #76 Pinto pulled to the front to take the win for
the Sportsmen 15 lap feature division.
David Scott from NH in his #5 coupe took a very close second.
To finish off third, David Poskitt from Ma in his #77 coupe crossed
only by a nose to beat Dick Murphy in his #V8 coupe.
MacDowell took his victory lap with the checked flag and then had
an out of car interview with photos and presentation of the victory
trophy. Then the modifieds hit
the track for their 15 lap feature. Bill
Cummins from Ma in his #195 Pinto took over the lead to capture the win
for the modified division. Charlie Lima from Ma in his 2X coupe and Skip
Stearns from NH in his #84 Pinto battled for second place.
When the flag came down it was Stearns taking
Lima
by a nose for second place. Charlie
Lima topped off the pack with a third.
Bill Cummins took his #195 around the track for his victory lap and
then had an out of car interview with photos and presentation of the
winner's trophy. Star would
like to thank Canaan Speedway for a great night of racing and for all
their hospitality. Star will
be returning to Canaan Speedway for another great night on racing on
August 16th.
