On August 28th Senior Tour made their second
appearance at Lee USA Speedway for the 2015 season. It was great to see so many
STAR members in attendance. Cars came
from all over New England to fill the pit area of Lee with some of the most
beautiful restored vintage race cars. This was a special night as it was “Back
to School and Rides for Kids” night. Star’s
evening would bring the tour 2 heats and 2 features.
It was the
sportsmen to hit the track first for their heat race. It was Robert Harless from NY in the #8 Sedan
to take down the first checkered for the tour and the heat win for the
Sportsmen division. The modifieds were lined up next for their heat race. When the green came down it was Charlie
Wilcox from Ct in the #19 Pinto to shoot out and take the lead on the
pack. When the checkered came down it
was on Wilcox in the #19 to take the second victory for the evening. Then it was “Rides for Kids” time. It was
nice to see so many STAR cars join in on the fun and join all the other
divisions of Lee to give these kids a spin around the track. STAR would like to thank all the cars that
participated in the “Rides for Kids”.
At feature time it was the Sportsmen to hit the asphalt
for their feature race first. It was
John Mulcahy from Ma in his #57 Mustang to take the checkered first. Richard
Eastman from Ma in his #0 Pinto took a very close second and to round out the
pack with a third was Wade Worster from Me in his #32 coupe. Mulcahy was brought trackside for an out of
car interview and awarded a trophy.
The modifieds were staged and ready for their
feature. When the green came down it was
off to racing. The pack ran tight lap
after lap until the checkered came down on Brian Robie from NH in his #7 Pinto.
Scott Poirier from Ct in his #73 Pinto and Bobby Turner from Me in his #7 Pinto
battled for second place. It was Poirier
to take the checkered first with Turner finishing off the pack with a
third. Robie was brought trackside for
an out of car interview and awarded a trophy.
STAR would like to thank Lee USA Speedway and their
entire staff for all their hospitality and a “Great Night of Racing”!
