Lets hope it’ll happen on time, really doubt it tho,,
April 17th? I am surprised there is not a snowmobile race on the card. Better bring your snowmobile suit for this one if you are spectating. They better be ready to plow the snow off the speedway. Just a little early for racing in NH.
The purse is too small to get any real car count from Mods, used to be 20k to win at Loudon, then it was 10k, now this race is 5k. I know it’s different series but its the same track, Also this race is sandwiched between the Ice Breaker and Sizzler so we shall see,
The MRS got a pretty good car count in 2019, with less then $5K to win. I think they will get a good car count. Even if there are no WMT cars, there will be a bunch of MRS and TriTrack teams along with some Stafford Open teams.
It’s not the headliner. It’s part of a big show. Can’t be paying every series big bucks.
Idk just kinda feels like that Richmond Race, no hype, not main event, 8 cars showed up, no points and not part of any other series.
This may have developed from the Short Track Showdown events that were started by the NEMST. I went to the last one and they had a good field of Mods (at least 24-25 I think) and a strong 29-car PASS field. It was the best race I ever went to that no one showed up for, as it was more of a “club day” then an advertised event. This one will be worth seeing for sure!
I’m looking forward to it but who knows if it’s actually going to happen, I certainly hope it does, definitely enough space there to spread out.
Earl, the second or third season Loudon was open, they had a Mod Tour\Busch North double header in the middle of April. Also, Busch North used to run Oxford in April for years. Add to that the old NASCAR North Tour\original version of the ACT Tour had April races in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire and even Quebec.
