The Mr. DIRTcar Championship Road Rolls Through Brockville Ontario Speedway

The Mr. DIRTcar Championship Road Rolls Through Brockville Ontario Speedway

By Jim Clarke, Clarke Motorsports Communications/First Draft Media

 

Its an honour that has been bestowed on some of the most talented drivers in dirt track racing. Being named a Mr. DIRTcar Series champion is the crowning moment of a successful season in a highly competitive field. Since Tony Corcoran earned the first ever Mr. DIRTcar 358 Modified title in 1983, several drivers with strong ties to Brockville Ontario Speedway have received the same award.

 

Doug Carlyle won in 1986 and Pat O'Brien's name went into the record books on 4 different occasions, to go along with his fist full of track championships at The BOS. 1989 was Laurent Ladouceur's turn, with Tim Fuller taking the prize in 1993 and 2003. Dale Planck also has a pair of Mr. DIRTcar titles, earning the prestigious award in 2009 and 2012. Steve Paine – who was the 2006 Big Block Modified champ at Brockville – captured the Mr. DIRTcar 358 crown in 1999 and 2002.

 

The Brockville Speedway connection to one of the DIRTcar Racing's most prestigious prizes continued in 2016, when Chris Raabe – who won the Sportsman Modified track championship in 2006 and 2008 and Mr. DIRTcar titles in 2008 and 2009 – captured the 358 Modified honours. Shane Pecore – who was the best of the Sportsman class in 2013 and 2014 – added another home track triumph and the Mr. DIRTcar prize to his resume last year. Even though the stats are hard to explain, track owner and promoter Paul Kirkland says he's happy to see so many of the sport's award winners come from his facility.

 

"We've had very competitive fields in all of our weekly divisions over the years," Kirkland said. "And it isn't just our drivers who shine at the big events. Since its inception, different runners – including Dale Planck in 2009 and Erick Rudolph in 2013 – have been fortunate enough to clinch the Mr. DIRTcar Series championship here, during the Northeast Fall Nationals."

 

Kirkland says its also impressive to see the number of rookie of the year winners who've called the popular clay oval on Temperance Lake Road their home track over the years. Chris Herbison was the top Sportsman Modified freshman in 2006 and won track championships in 2011 and 2012. Matt Billings – Brockville's Sportsman track champion in 2009 – was named DIRTcar Big Block rookie of the year for 2013. In the 358 Modified ranks, names like Randy Ritskes, Laurent Ladouceur, Chris Jones, Todd Stewart, Luke Whitteker, Chris Raabe and Ryan Arbuthnot captured the same prize. Lee Gill was the top first year small blocker in 1994 and claimed 5 track championships; including a streak of 4 straight from 2000 to 2003.

 

The list doesn't end there. Tim McCreadie was a Brockville 358 rookie in 1996 and claimed the Big Block prize a year later. Frankie Caprara mirrored T-Mac's performance in 1999 and 2001. Not to be outdone, Lance Willix made it a three-peat for the Empire State runners in 2006 and 2010.

TWO NEW ENTERTAINING DIVISIONS TO PREMIERE AT SPEEDWAY 51 IN 2017

TWO NEW ENTERTAINING DIVISIONS

TO PREMIERE AT SPEEDWAY 51 IN 2017

 







            Loads of exciting changes are happening at Speedway 51 in Groveton, New Hampshire in 2017, and two of the major changes include the additions of the all new Cyclone and Angel's division to the tracks lineup.

 

            The White Mountains Community College Cyclones will return to the track after many years absence as a regular division. The Cyclones were known as the Northeast Cyclones traveling group in 2016. The brainchild of Jean Leblanc and Doug Shannon has now become a track division. The Cyclones originally were started many years ago by Dick Therrien. This basically bone stock class with very limited changes except for safety, is a great division to get your feet wet in the sport of auto racing. Cyclone cars are very affordable to build and maintain, and most if not all parts can be found in most junkyards. The affordability is what attracts so many people to this type of racing as well as the fact that Cyclones do not race every week.

 

            The Angels class will feed directly off the Cyclone division, as this Ladies class will be able to use the same cars on the same night as the Cyclones. This is great for family racing as they can share a car with each other and earn a few dollars. The Angels use to be a very exciting class to watch as drivers like the names of Jennie Dion, the Brown sisters, Traci Nelson and a host of others kept the crowd on the edge of their seat. Hopefully some of these historic names will return to racing in 2017.

 

            Right now final touches are being done on the regular race schedule, go-karts, and the car show schedule. The 2017 racing season gets underway on Saturday, May 6th at 6pm. Many sponsorship packages are available at various prices. Get your businesses on board for the 2017 race season. For more information on Speedway 51, or to inquire about the numerous packages that are being offered, contact Dick Therrien at 802-274-8823, or Jon Dunkling at 802-371-8132. See the entire schedule of events on our website, and for more information on this event and others, please visit our website at www.speedway51int.com, or call the Track hotline at 802-479-2074. Speedway 51 is located on Craggy Road in Groveton, New Hampshire.

DIRTcar Racing Membership Required for All Sanctioned Event

DIRTcar Racing Membership Required for All Sanctioned Event

Posted: 02 Mar 2017 03:00 PM PST

All Division drivers must have a DIRTcar License to participate and receive benefits

CONCORD, N.C. – March 2, 2017 – Starting with the first events of 2017, any participants of a DIRTcar-sanctioned event will be required to hold a DIRTcar Racing membership. Any division without a 100 percent membership participation will be at risk of violating the sanction agreement and suspension of the sanction by DIRTcar Racing.

A one-week temporary membership (for the traveling racer) will be accepted provided the driver completes the full application. However, temporary one-week memberships do not qualify for insurance and appeal benefits provided to full DIRTcar members.

The practice of a mandatory membership is common in sports, including motorsports, creating a mutually beneficial relationship between the drivers and the point fund, rule book, official decisions and appeals.

DIRTcar members participate in state, regional and national divisional point funds for drivers and tracks; where in 2016, over $550,000.00 was distributed to members. Members also receive discounted entry fees and/or discounted pit entry fees at selected events.

One benefit that every driver hopes never to take advantage of is the $50,000 DIRTcar Member Benefit Supplemental Participant Accident Policy over a track supplied deductible of $15,000.

Boom Briggs, a Late Model Driver and DIRTcar Racing Member sustained an injury during the 2016 season that sidelined him for more than two months. A recent DirtonDirt.com article highlighted the benefits he received from his DIRTcar membership, and how happy he was to have had them.

"I got a check for $3,200 a couple weeks ago from [World Racing Group's] insurance company," said Briggs to DirtonDirt.com. "Thankfully my wife had good [health] insurance I'm under, but [the insurance from World Racing Group] took every out-of-pocket expense I had and paid it. They covered all my deductibles, all my co-pays, the emergency room, my therapies, I've had to pay zero [overall] because of that. I want that mentioned because I'm very, very thankful for that. That's why I'll always buy that DIRTcar UMP license… to qualify for that insurance."

To find out how to become a DIRTcar Racing member, visit www.DIRTcarMembers.com.

SPEEDWAY51: BOOGITY, BOOGITY, BOOGITY LET’S GO RACING BOYS AND GIRLS!

BOOGITY, BOOGITY, BOOGITY

LET'S GO RACING BOYS AND GIRLS!

 

            From the words of the legendary Darrell Waltrip, it's time to go racing at Speedway 51 in Groveton, New Hampshire. The Daytona 500 has come and gone and now it's time to dig those racecars out of the snow banks, gather up the crew in the garage, and get them racers ready for the pre-season car shows, and opening day set for Saturday, May 6, 2017.

 

            Excitement is at an all time high this year at Speedway 51 as many positive changes are taking place in the rulebooks, and the track operations. The all new North Country Ford Late Models will have a five race series this season with solid big buck purses. With a minimum of twenty cars, the winners share will be a minimum of $1,500 for 75 laps, or $2,000 for a 100 lap event. The purse will be solid throughout the field. The NC Ford Late Models will be on 9" Hoosier rubber this year, and they will be allowed to run bump stops on the cars. Bump stops help in adjusting the cars suspension. The total tire bill to run the full season is estimated at just $2,200. The NC Ford Series allow teams that don't want to race a full season to race a limited schedule, and spend a good amount of the summer with their families, and race at other venues if they would like.

 

            Interest is huge as well in the Limited Sportsman class, (Formerly known as Tiger Sportsman) as the free tire offer by Track owner, Joey Laquerre has this divisions racers buzzing throughout the entire racing community. Racers in this class run on used American Racer Late Model tires which can be collected from Late Model teams, or taken from Speedway 51's tire inventory free of charge. There is a $20 branding fee which goes directly into the drivers point fund. The winners share of the point fund is estimated to be close to $4,000.

 

            The highly competitive Street Stock class has very few if any new rules for 2017. They will be running on the same tire as rac4ed upon in 2016. The Daredevil division looks to be stronger than ever as several new youngsters will be in line to race this season. This will be the first year in many that the kids will not be racing for points. The Pepsi Pure Stocks will return as well in 2017. These six cylinder beauties will see some new faces for in the upcoming season.

 

            Two new divisions will roll onto the Speedway in 2017. First, the White Mountains Community College Cyclones will make their debut. This basically stock class will fit nicely into the tracks plans for 2017. Joining the Cyclones will be the return of the Angels, ladies division. They will be using the same type cars as the Cyclones and should be very entertaining.

 

            One new item that is mandatory for 2017 is the use of the Raceiver or a scanner. These devices are a one way communication device that allows the Race Director to communicate with the drivers. This will help with lineups, problems on the track, and the ability to diffuse any issues that need the Race Directors attention. Raceivers are on sale on-line at www.raceivers.com. They are just $99.95 and they also have packages with earbuds, etc available. Regular scanners are also allowed.

 

            We are presently working on the Car Show schedule, and that should be ready to announce in the next couple of weeks. Many sponsorship packages are available at various prices. Get your businesses on board for the 2017 race season. For more information on Speedway 51, or to inquire about the numerous packages that are being offered, contact Dick Therrien at 802-274-8823, or Jon Dunkling at 802-371-8132. See the entire schedule of events on our website, and for more information on this event and others, please visit the website at www.speedway51int.com, or call the Track hotline at 802-479-2074. Speedway 51 is located on Craggy Road in Groveton, New Hampshire.

New motorsports events to highlight busy summer

 

For Immediate Release                                                                                                                                                                                 DBS-022417-1

 

WEST HAVEN, Vt. – The ground will shake in 2017 with a series of exciting, all-new motorsports events at Devil's Bowl Speedway.  The scenic Vermont facility has added a slate of new, high-adrenalin attractions for motorsports fans of all kinds, promising to bring a thrill to fans of all types of horsepower.  While weekly NASCAR Whelen All-American Series-sanctioned stock car racing continues on the asphalt oval on Saturday nights and on the dirt oval on Sunday nights, the new events will offer a different style of heart-pounding action.

Trucks and tractors will have a thundering presence at Devil's Bowl in 2017.  The inaugural "Rutland County Rumble" will be held on Saturday, May 13, as the region's top pulling tractors and trucks will be on hand for an intense display of power and torque.  The popular Altered Farm Tractor class will headline the program, and also chasing the "full pull" will be three truck divisions: Super Stock 4x4, 2.6 Pro Diesel, and 2.5 Diesel.

The drags are open to anyone with a valid driver's license, with no experience required.  Virtually any kind of motorized vehicle is welcome including cars, trucks, vans, motorcycles, ATVs, and more; vehicles will be paired up with similar entries across a variety of racing brackets.  Pit passes will be just $10.00, plus a $10.00 registration fee per bracket for racers.  Grandstand admission is just $5.00 per person and free for kids age 12 and under.

Also on tap for the first time are the Rusty Wallace Racing Experience and the Kenny Wallace Dirt Racing Experience.  Fans can strap in and drive or ride along in real Late Models, Modifieds, and Sprint Cars following a morning training curse with professional instructors.  The Wallace Racing Experience will be at Devil's Bowl Speedway on the Asphalt Track on Saturday, August 26, and on the Dirt Track on Sunday, August 27; for more information, visit www.RaceWithRusty.com or www.DirtRaceWithKenny.com.

Corliss hopes to carry forward his late-season momentum, after finishing as runner-up in the 2016 Vermont Milk Bowl at Thunder Road in October.  Always a quiet, steady competitor, Corliss cut his racing teeth at Thunder Road, capturing the Street Stock title early in his career, moving through the Tiger Sportsman division, and eventually on to the ACT Late Models.  With support of owner Chris Burnett and Burnett Scrap Metals, the #66VT team is setting their sights on top of the ACT standings in 2017.

 

"Chris (Burnett) has provided me with an exciting opportunity for these past couple of seasons, and with the dedication of my crew, I can't wait for the first green flag of the season!" said an excited Corliss.  "Racing is my passion, and to be able to compete at this level is certainly the realization of a dream for me", he concluded.

 

Based in Somerville, MA, Jimmy Linardy and his #77MA crew are among the most popular teams in the pits at any ACT event.  For more than a decade the Kayem Hot Dogs entry has been a familiar sight at ACT events on both sides of the border, and the positivity of the Linardy crew is infectious.  With a new car currently being prepared, Linardy is anxious to get back on the track.  "My crew and I have a great time at any and every event we attend – we are fortunate that our series enjoys the participation of such wonderful guys – it's like a family outing everywhere we go", said a smiling Linardy.

 

The ACT Late Model Tour will visit 8 different tracks throughout the Northeast during the 2017 season, with the traditional season-opener set for Lee USA Speedway on Saturday, April 9.
