Bobby Prior driving the #2 Ford Taurus, sponsored by Firestorm Graphix has clinched the 2007 AMCS Championship. consisitng of a 5 race series to determine the winner.
There was a tie for second place between Bret Culleton and Mike Crawford, with John Roche 4th, and Travis Dunbar in 5th.Congrats to all.
The Wiscassett race took place under sunny skies, with 14 teams vieing for the win. There were two preliminary heat races which went green to checker to set the positions for the feature. In the feature it was a tight cluster of cars trying to get to the front, including the #20 of Jerry Phillips, The #55 of Larry Marshall, the #2 of Bobby Prior, the #31 of Mike Crawford, the #61 of Bret Culleton, and the #83 of Frankie Perry, after a mid race tangle in turn 1 between the #20, #11 and #8 of Mike Lafayette, the race resumed with several cars trading the front four places including, the #83, #31, #55, #8 . After a short rain delay, the racing resumed. With eleven laps to go , there were two restarts with the #3 of John Roche ending up on the outside pole with the #83 in the lead, after two failed restarts, the green flew again only to have the #3 stuck on the outside with cold tires, and watched the #55 and #8 slide underneath. This remained the order for the final 8 to ten laps, with everyone hugging the bottom inside grove, no one wanted to move outside for fear of being freight-trained. It was a great tight race with the #83 of Frankie Perry, finally taking the win, with the #55, #8, #3 and #31 nose to tail waiting for the mistake that never was. The fans and fellow competitors were very impressed with the race put on by the Mid-Coast and NH Supercup race teams. THE SUPERCUPS GOT GREAT REVIEWS FROM THE ”MAINELY RACING ” NEWSCAST OF THE WISCASSETT RACE, WITH A SECTION OF THE RACE BEING SHOWN , AND HOPEFULLY, THIS WILL LEAD TO MORE RACES BEING FILMED NEXT YEAR. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO SHOWED UP AND PUT ON SUCH A GREAT SHOW. Cannan Fair Saturday Sept. 2nd Another great night to race and the spirits were high for trying to get the final win at Cannan for the 07 Season. In the heat race, the #8 of Mike Lafayette and the #3 of John Roche jumped out to an early lead , only to have it wiped out when the #3 booted the #8 under a yellow flag condition ,caused by the spin of the #13 in turn’s 3 & 4, and the suns glare obscuring the flagman’s preety yellow flag, which sent them both to the back. When the race resumed, the field took off again and battled till the green flag , with the #83, first followed by the #31,#2#8 and #61. By feature time , the track had cooled and the temp was in the 50’s, making the track very slippery. For several laps the field slid through the corners where it was very difficult for anyone on the outside, with cars sliding up out of the corners. When the #3 and#13 tried to perform a synchronized drift through turn 1 and 2 only to hit, and send the 13 to the infield , while Jerry Phillips in the #20 tried going high to miss the display, only to have his right front wheel lock up sending him into the front stretch wall ending his run for the night , along with the #13. Again the field took the green only to have the cars sliding all over the corners again. As the #83 and #31 traded the lead several times, the #8 laid in wait looking for something to happen. When the leaders caught lap traffic, it allowed the #2 , and #3 to catch up for a period of time behind the #8 of Mike Lafayette in 3rd following the leaders waiting again for something to happen. In the end it was the #83 of Frankie Perry finishing first, followed by Mike Crawford in the #31 , Mike Lafayette in the #8 , #2 of Bobby Prior, in fourth, #3 fifth, followed by the #61, #44, #6, #20, #13. WE WILL BE CREATING A NEW PAGE TO TRANSFER THE PREVIOUS WEEK’S RACE REPORTS TO CHRONICAL THEM. TECH NOTES , AIR FILTERS ARE TO BE 4′ HIGH BY 3′ WIDE MAX. NO EXTENDED FILTERS. CARBS, THERE WILL BE AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT CONCERNING CARBS TO CLARIFY THINGS ONCE AND FOR ALL. THERE IS TO BE NO ‘HANGING BACK ‘ TO GET A RUN AND BLOW BY THE FIELD , IF YOU DO IT YOU WILL LOOSE POSITIONS, EVEN IF THE TRACK DOESN’T PICK IT UP. ANYONE WITH FUEL OR OIL ADDITIVES WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY DQ’D NO QUESTIONS OR ALIBI’S.
THE SUPERCUPS GOT GREAT REVIEWS FROM THE ”MAINELY RACING ” NEWSCAST OF THE WISCASSETT RACE, WITH A SECTION OF THE RACE BEING SHOWN , AND HOPEFULLY, THIS WILL LEAD TO MORE RACES BEING FILMED NEXT YEAR. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO SHOWED UP AND PUT ON SUCH A GREAT SHOW.

Congratulations to Frankie Perry on the top spot for Saturday night at Cannan and Bobby Prior in the Kurt Bush mobile on Sunday at Hudson. (Drives Like him). Congratulation to Kyle Kutchta in the #0, on his win in the Young Guns division, sponsored by Mystic Pizza.
Sunday July 23, 2007, under a mostly sunny sky with temperatures in the high 70’s - low 80’s, the “Young Gun’s Division”of the NHMCA took to the Londonderry Raceway track for two rounds of practice. The track was in great shape, thanks to Jim and his
Londonderry track staff.The 15 lap heat race consisted of the #24 of Glenn Deming on the pole with the Mystic Pizza, Ultraflex Race Car Bodies #0 of Kyle Kuchta on the outside with the Grants Rental, Access Mortgage sponsored #22 of Brian Mondeau and the #9 of Bobby Stirk rounding out the field. At the drop of the green Kuchta’s # 0 moved into the lead coming out of turn two, with the 22 & the 9 of Mondeau and Stirk working the outside of Deming’s # 24. During the next couple of circuits Kyle was stretching out a slim lead over Mondeau and Stirk with Glenn Deming’s # 24 running in the 4th spot. At the halfway point it was the 0, 22, and 9, with the 24 in tow. The 0 would cross the line for the checkered flag in first followed by Brian’s #22 the #9 of 10 year old Bobby Stirk and Glenn Deming’s #24.The feature race lineup would have the 0 on the inside pole with the 22 starting 2nd followed by the 9 and 24. An unfortunate accident during the Dwarf car feature ended the racing events early this day and our juniors will have to wait till next time to see who is the “Mr. Londonderry” of their division. Our thoughts are with Jim and his staff along with the drivers and teams involved with Sundays accident. The track crew did an outstanding job and handled the situation with professionalism and care. We look forward to our next event at Londonderry Raceway.Do to the damage to the facility, , the race schedule was stopped for the day and heat finishes are now feature finishes. Congratulations to all.

THE TOP THREE WERE WITHIN .070TH OF A SEC. After having 30 mins. of track time, dedicated to the supercups, cars were teched for ten items and then proceeded to qualify for the pole. Although a couple of cars turned their fastest lap on the first try , most made their second lap the fastest. Bobby was .o40 quicker than the 61 car of Brett Culleton, and .070 quicker than the 83 of Frank Perry. The track decided to invert the top six cars, and the field was set. At the drop of the flag it was pretty congested for the first 4 laps with all the leaders coming up through the pack with the 31 of Mike Crawford making a bid to go to the front. The rest of the group was dicing it out for position when things started going wrong around lap twelve when a couple of cars were lost with mechanical problems, Gerry Phillips in the 20 car was going to the front also, when he started getting loose out of turn 4, after several times of this, the wall finally won and put him on the hook for the night. After the restart , there were several cars up front contending for the lead. The 83,2 and 61 were battling continually for the lead withe the 3 and 61 in tow, after being passed by the 3 of John Roche, Mike in the 31 lost it in turn 4 , spun out and had to start in the back. Again the pack reformed with the 83,61,2,3 and 44 of Travis Dunbar lined up for the final charge. In the end it was the 83,the winner followed by the 2,61,3,44,31 8x,2x,and the following cars dropped out with mechanical problems. 20,77,11′ Thanks to all the teams from Maine who came to support this series and to all the competitors who put on a great show.‘‘SUMMER CLASH SERIES”” SPONSORED BY PERRY EQUIPMENT AND NURSERIES, ULTRA-FLEX RACE CARS, BETLEY CHEVROLET, AND FIRESTORM GRAPHICS “”‘ JULY 14TH ALL-STAR SPEEDWAY ”“THE FIRST OF A FIVE RACE SERIES WITH CARS FROM ALL OVER NEW ENGLAND, KICKS OFF ON JULY 14TH WITH A 50 LAP FEATURE AT THE NEW ALL-STAR SPEEDWAY.THERE WILL BE ENTRANTS FROM SEVERAL DIFFERENT SERIES, SO THE COMPETITION SHOULD BE GREAT.

Updated points will be available at the track.If you like speed and like to run a first class track Canaan is the place to be. Better than racing for your mother and being scolded. Points will be distributed at the track.Canaan Speedway Race RecapCongratulations to bobby Prior on his win.Unbelievable as it may seem, the Supercups bounced back from the previous weekend, with pride and determination to prove they were a club on a mission. Every car was repaired in time to head to Cannan and put on a show to have the fans roaring. Right from the get go it was side by side racing in the heat, for almost 10 laps between the #3 of John Roche and #8 of Mike Lafayette until #2 Bobby Prior made a dash , and made it three wide through turn 1 & 2 to the roar of the crowd. All three cars ran for almost another 2 laps before the #8 dropped back, and #2 powered underneath the #3 to take the heat race. In the feature, it was more of the same with side by side and nose to tail racing. Several front runners dropped back out of contention with mechanical problems, but the #2 of Bobby Prior and the #83 of Frankie Perry ran nose to tail for almost the whole race, while others battled back through the field. In the end it was #2 Bobby Prior with the win , followed by the #83, and Mike Crawford in the #31 posting the best finish in two years in third. Mike has been thrashing for two years, and has steadily been making his mark.Everyone was really happy to see him finally get to the front. Great job. The Supercups ran over 40 Green to checkered flag laps without incident and most were two and three wide at times. During Intermission Travis Dunbar was given the opportunity to talk to the crowd from the start finish line, about autism awareness and gave a trophy and other gifts to some of the kids in the crowd who were thrilled. Several parents and other drivers talked to me after the race and said they were really impressed by the efforts of the members, the track and Travis to bring recognition to some less fortunate. I have to express my appreciation to the club which pulled together under some extreme circumstances, for everyone, to put all the cars back on the track for the show, and put on the show that they did. Remember “One mistake does not a season make”. We look forward to returning, with the Mid-Coast group to put on an even bigger show. Most Awsome job guy’s.What A Start to The 2007 Season!Congratulations to #22 Brian Mondeau on his first win in the Juniors Division. We look forward to seeing more great racing from this division in 2007.
