Another Season is Almost Over.

Well here we are its mid October and its freezing outside. There is 1 more race to go for the WMT at Thompson Speedway. Hopefully the weather will warm up and we can have a great day of racing.

The season started so strong for the 36 team and driver Ted Christopher with wins at Thompson and Stafford. The last 6 or so races have not been so good. Wrecks, motor problems, bad luck and a race car that was just not that fast. After Stafford and dropping out of 1st place all the way to 3rd place I am sure Ted wonders how did the season that started so strong go so wrong.

On the other side of the coin the point leader #4 of Donnie Lia has been a rocket ship. I don't think anyone has ever gone 2 laps down, been involved in at least 3 wrecks and still finished 2nd. The big difference most of the season for Donnie vs Ted Christopher is Donnie rebounded from most wrecks to finish races well. TC did not have that luck. Donnie racked up 4 wins this season and the New Hampshire track title. Of all the drivers in the championship hunt Donnie must feel the most confidence as he is on roll.

Then there is the 18 year old driver who has gained many fans this year, Ryan Preece. Ryan has been strong all year winning races at Riverhead, the tough 1/4 mile track on Long Island and Stafford. The biggest reason for his 2nd place standing right now is his consistency, Ryan racked up many top 5 and top 10 place finishes. Only a 24th place finish at the first NH race in June and a 18th place finish at the Bud 150 at Thompson keep Ryan out of the point lead. This season has proved Ryan has a bright future ahead of him.

The 4th place team which is still not out of it but would need a lot of things to go right is the #2 Wisk team of Todd Szegedy. Todd was very strong through the middle of the season but a wreck at the September NH race and his wreck at Stafford really hurt their chances.

This weekends rain pushed back the championship battle 1 more week or the champion would have been crowned already. It should be an exciting weekend for the fans. Who will win, who will loose, only time will tell.

Also on Sat October 24th Wall Stadium, twin 66 lap Modifed races paying $6,600.00 to win each. That's a potential payday of $13,200.00!! An added attraction will be Ray Everham in his final appearance at Wall Stadium.

See you at the races.
