RIVERSIDE SPEEDWAY

Riverside Speedway, Groveton, NH held it “Weekend Extravaganza” on Friday July 25^th and Saturday July 26^th.  There was something for everyone this weekend!  On hand was Pro Stocks, Modifieds, Riverside’s divisions, Dwarfs cars, Monster Trucks and Star was proud to be part of this grand weekend on Saturday July 26^th.  Star was schedule for afternoon practices with the evening bringing a 10-lap heat and a 15-lap feature.  It was warm and sunny but the radar predicted rain for the late evening.  Once again would Star beat Mother Nature like it has done so many weekends this year?  Star was the first heat to hit the track at Riverside that evening.  Danny Ferland from NH in his #21 Pinto and Charlie Lima for Ma in his 2X coupe battled side by side, lap after lap for the win.  When the checkered flag came down it was Ferland to cross the line first to pick up the win for Star heat that evening.  Ferland circled the track with the checkered flag in honor of his win.  In the feature race Dennis Fish from Me in his #35 Nova shot to the front to pick up the win for the Sportsmen division.  The modified division it was anyone’s race.  Who would cross the line first?  Skip Stearns from NH in his #84 Pinto made his way to the front to capture the checked for the Modified division 15- lap feature.  Both winners were brought to the start finish line were they had an out of car interview and presentation of trophies.  But Stearns had his own idea, like so many times in the past Stearns is noted to find a child in the grandstands and present his trophy to them.  To see the look on this child face was priceless.  As the winners left the track the little boy Stearns presented the trophy to clap as he past him.  The fans were laughing and cheered the Star cars on!! Riverside was cut short of their feature race by only a few laps before the rain came. 

Star would like to thank Riverside Speedway for including us in their “Weekend Extravaganza” and for their hospitality with a great night of racing.
