On lap three, the 16, 65, & 3 take it three wide in that order in the middle of turn one and two. The #65 Anderson the meat in the sandwich spins out middle off turn 2 and the #31 Crawford and #20 Phillips did a great job to scatter quick to avoid the spinning #65.

Hudson Oct 5^th. 2008

Our return to Hudson speedway we found the infield dry this time no more

“Lake Hudson”

The track was slick and fast, the racing great. After every practice it seemed everybody kept tightening up their race cars. Although you couldn’t tell it by the heats and feature, because most were still sideways.

Super cup Sr. Feature went off with the # 61 of Brett Culleton on the poll # 31 of Mike Crawford outside, # 22 of Brian Mondeau tucked up behind Culleton,  the #8 of Chris Igo outside Mondeau,and the #3 of Dave Helliwell. The race start seemed to be even between Culleton and Crawford only to have the flagman call it off with one more to go. Next time by Culleton seemed to get a much better start on Crawford. Culleton’s great jump left the #22 of Mondeau and Crawford’s #31 going at it. Also with a charge by the #3 of Dave Helliwell when the #31 lost a spot trying to get under the #22.

Meanwhile the #61 of Culleton running his own line checked out on the feild. Mondeau’s #22 and Crawford’s #31 really go at it for 15 laps passing back and forth each other several times and both putting on a show for the fans. They were sideways out of two and four constantly; both saving their cars “Kyle Busch style” there was no checking up! Culleton’s #61 cruses away. Lap 18 Crawford’s #31 sticking better now takes advantage of Mondeau’s #22 sideways off 2 and beats him into turn 3 for a hard fought second place.

On the restart the #96 of Hutchins and the #88 of De Souza exchanged the lead only to have the #6 of Jake Spillers take advantage of their spin outs and cruise to the lead and the win.

HUDSON SPEEDWAY 9/7/2008

aka.

“Lake Hudson Speedway”

We Would Like To Congratulate The #44 of Travis Dunbar on his first NHMCA Win!

It was great to see the young guns show up at Hudson Speedway Sunday.

Thank you to the: #6 Jake Spillers, #9 Bobby Stirk, #50 Carl Medeiros Jr., #88 Kyle DeSousa, #95 Kaitlyn Donovan, and the # 96 Carl Hutchins Jr.

It was also great to see the #8 of Chris Igo come join the Super cup seniors.

We can’t forget #44 Travis Dunbar and #18 Brad Tripp from the MSRL.

Thanks for making the trip to join the New Hampshire super cups to all.

Unfortuentally thanks to Hurricane Hanna, Hudson Speedway had a lake in the infield.

Super cup Sr. #31 Mike Crawford tested the waters in the last practice when he got a run on #18 of brad Tripp going into 3 and went low trying not to punt poor Brad, but Crawford and hit the water on the berm in the middle of 3-4 with his left side tires. After creating a high wake with his left side tires he saved it out of 4 and down the front stretch. Only to loose it middle off turn 1-2 he saved it twice, but the third time he backed it in the lake.

Mike did have the presence of mind to kill the motor just before he backed it in the lake. Their he sat with water up to his steering wheel. He threw open the hatch only to see a track worker not really wanting to tread into thigh deep water. Mike yelled “hey can you help me out I forgot my Orr!”

8/11/08   UNFORTUNATLY , MOTHER NATURE REARED HER UGLY HEAD AND GAVE US A DOWNPOUR WHICH LASTED TILL 9PM PLUS, LEAVING THE THIRD TURN UNDERWATER,CANCELLING OUT SUNDAY’S RACE AT HUDSON SPEEDWAY. WE WILL BE RESCHEDULING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WANT TO THANK ALL THE TEAMS FROM SEEKONK AND MAINE WHO TRAVELLED TO MAKE THE RACE.    

 History was made when the largest gathering of supercups,in years, converged on Scarboro Maine’s “Beech Ridge Speedway” for the 2nd Annual  4 cylinder Nationals.  28 cars from all 4 series in the new england area, spent the day racing  2 heats with a 50 lap feature divided into 2  twenty five lap segments, with racing throughout the field . In the end , it was Francis Bernard of the MSRL  taking down the victory. We will be loading some pictures and more info later.

“Cannan Fair Report 2008″ 

Well the races went off with no problems ,until Travis tried to take down the front stretch wall. Fortunatly I talked to him Sunday Morning, and although he’s banged up , he was thankful his safety equipment , we made mandatory, did the job. His “hutchens and double head rests” made the difference. Unfortunatly his car did not fair as well , he has extensive damage and will be out for awhile. We wish him the best on his recovery. Otherwise it was a lot of fun with everyone going home waiting for the next time at “CANNAN”. Mike Crawford, will have a report shortly. See everyone at the next race–
