EVERYTHING LOOKING GOOD FOR 2008 AT RIVERSIDE

            Everything is looking good for the 2008 racing season at Riverside Speedway in Groveton, New Hampshire. The marketing is coming along very nicely, with several new names coming to join us in 2008. We have over 80 teams already registered for 2008 including 20 Late Model teams. Last year on this date we had just 51 registered racers. This does not include crewmember licenses. It appears that we are going to have another great season at Riverside with good fields of cars in all divisions.

NEW SPONSORS HEADLINE RIVERSIDE SPEEDWAY

            More new sponsors invade Riverside Speedway for 2008 as Kids Only Daycare becomes the new title sponsor for the Daredevil Youth racers. We welcome the Leblanc family to the Riverside family. Also joining Riverside for 2008 will be Monster Energy and The Vermont Milk Company. We have also reached an agreement with Passumpsic Savings Bank to once again be our Point Fund and 50/50 sponsor for 2008. Bean’s Home Center from Lyndonville, Vermont, is another sponsor that will be joining us in 2008.

NEW HANDICAPPING PROCEDURE IN PLACE

            Riverside Speedway has a new handicapping procedure in place for the 2008 racing season. The new procedure can be found on our website at www.riversidespeedway.org. Pit Steward and Chief Handicapper, Doug Farnsworth, and myself sat down and came up with a new system that we feel is fairer than the old one.

SECURE YOUR NUMBER!!

            Several race teams that ran in 2007 and are planning on running at Riverside Speedway in 2008 still have not filed their license application. Remember, your number is not secured if you do not have a license. License fees go up April 1, 2008. Take care of it ASAP.

SLABS NOW AVAILABLE

            Many people that had slabs in 2007 have not renewed them for 2008. You had until March 1, 2008 to get your paperwork in and all slabs had to be paid in full by April 30, 2008. All un-purchased slabs are now for sale. Forms are available on our website, www.riversidespeedway.org. First come, first serve basis.

OWEN WIMBLE SETS SIGHTS ON LMS CHAMPIONSHIP!

            Waitsfield, Vermont’s, “Goin” Owen Wimble has confirmed that he will make an all out assault on the 2008, North Country Ford, Late Model Championship. Wimble, who is 60 years young, has decided that he will set aside his new LMS car that he purchased last season, to run his twenty year old mount that he has upgraded for this year. Wimble has a lot more confidence in “Old Faithful” and feels that this car has another championship left in it. Wimble is ready to challenge 2007 champ, Corey Mason for the title. Over twenty LMS cars have registered to compete at Riverside for 2008.

JOB APPLICATIONS WILL BE AVAILABLE STARTING APRIL 15, 2008
