Month: June 2019

The NEAR group will be converging at Monadnock Speedway om Sat. June 22. 2019. The show will feature regular track divisions, the New England Antique Racers in heats and features, and the Pro 4 Modifieds. Great time, track, see you all there for the show! Pits at 3 p.m.!

The New England Antique Racers appeared at the Stafford Motor Speedway on Friday, June 7th, 2019. It was deemed “Kids Night” at the  popular oval, and there were many child oriented activities planned for the evening. A Big Wheels race on track, bounce houses and NEAR Race Cars on the midway, and a kids Bike Raffle to top it all off. The lucky winner of the bike only bought one ticket!!! Stafford management also donated a beautiful NAPA tractor trailer truck and a Chase Elliot collectible race car. Pronyne Museum donated a couple NEAR t shirts to the tally, as well! All in all, a great time was had by everyone in attendance.

The Bill Kemp #199 Camaro was very popular with the youngsters, as many took the opportunity to sit in a race car for the very first time. The #088 of Angie Bullock was also very popular with the fans!

 

The NEAR Hall of Fame Museum was also on site, with many fans checking out the plaques inside that honor the legends of New England racing history.

     

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

George and Candy Cleveland brought out the Cleveland Farms #5, and Ric Mariscal brought the Pronyne Museum’s  Checkered Flag Announcer #26 Gremlin. This car belonged to the infamous Paul Tremaine, a fixture at N.E. tracks in the 60’s and 70’s.

Also on hand was the beautiful #716 Checkerboard square car and the #19 Moose Hewitt Pinto owned by Tom and Eileen Maciag. Thanks to all our members that brought cars, and Bruce Nichols as well, for coming along to assist in the evening’s activities!!

 

 

 

 

 

NEAR held the first of the running shows for 2019  on Saturday, June 1, 2019. The owners and staff of White Mountain Motorsports Park in North Woodstock, N.H. were great hosts.

The track gave us an open practice for a few hours and a feature race for both the sportsman class and the modified class. The sportsman class rolled out first on the track. The #9 of  Norm Cyr took the win followed by #71 of John Adams in  2nd, and the #088 of Angie Bullock to round out the top 3.

In the modified feature the win went to the #44 of Tim Hines, 2nd was “Downtown” Ken Brown #35 and 3rd was the #7vt of Wayne Wojtyna.

It was a great night of racing at White Mountain Motorsport Park.  Thank you to the entire staff  for the great job and for having NEAR there. To all of the NEAR members, thank you for your continuing  support!!

NEAR will be at Stafford Speedway this Friday, June 7,2019 for a static show on the midway. The Hall of Fame Truck and member cars will be on display to celebrate Kids Night. A lucky youngster will be taking home a new bike, courtesy of the NEAR Bike Raffle. Come on out and support a great racing facility and have a great night out with the family!!
