Mighty Ten - We Got Caught Up, They Never Give Up

This edition of the Mighty Ten rankings has a theme that is common for many of those who made the list - that is dedication.  Not giving up against some long odds led to victories, strong finishes and even a championship by our ten mightiest drivers of the week. It is also part two of a double shot for the Mighty Ten rankings.  We got behind and missed posting a story last week, so instead of ignoring some strong performances we just posted two stories – one a week too late.  But who is

Mighty Ten - Rewinding to Last Week's Best N.E. Racers

This week, there will be a double shot of the Mighty Ten rankings.  We got behind last week and did not post this feature, but we don’t want some very fine performances from Labor Day weekend to go unnoticed, so while this might be one week behind, the successes that are mentioned won’t be forgotten easily. We noted all the performances that occurred on short track tours and at weekly tracks by New England drivers to come up with this edition of the Mighty Ten rankings. So re is the slightly

Twisted Thoughts - The Nice Guy Who Finishes First

It has been said that nice guys finish last and that everyone hates a team that wins too much. But the hottest driver in New England Mini Stock racing and his team are proving both points wrong as the richest race in the region for that type of oval track racecar looms this weekend.  Glen Thomas has a three-for-three record in North East Mini Stock Tour races so far in 2017 and has entered Friday night’s Four Cylinder Nationals at Claremont Speedway (NH) as one of the pre-race favorites. And

Twisted Thoughts - The Hero on The Motorcycle

I don’t believe that I ever met Aaron Sevigny, but in racing circles you never can be sure.  You don’t always get the chance to match a name to a smiling face that you see at the track.  I knew of him though through his racing endeavors at Maine’s Wiscasset Speedway and Unity Raceway, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we did meet at some point.  Based on what I have heard about him in the past day or so, I have no doubt that if we had met, he would have had a smile on his face. Sevigny lost his
