Newburgh, NY — With the impending rain in the forecast for this evening the Lee USA Speedway Management was forced to make a make a tough call by canceling all racing for Friday May 9.  With the ever rising cost of fuel the Speedway did not want the race teams to make the haul only to have to turn around with out making a lap. With mother nature being so unpredictable it is always a tough call to make.

The next stop for the Allison Legacy North tour will be next Saturday night May 17 at the fastest quarter mile in the east, Monadnock Speedway. Come out and enjoy yourself to some of the best racing in Northeast with Monadnocks weekly show and the Allison Legacy North Race Series.

Thompson Changes Hours for May 15th Open Practice

Thompson, CT — Thompson International Speedway race teams will now have an opportunity to drive under the new Thompson lighting system one week before the regular Thursday night Thunder series opens for the summer.

Speedway owner, Don Hoenig, today announced that he felt it was important for the race drivers and their teams to be introduced to the new “bright lights” before the regular season begins. “This will give drivers a chance to get a good feel for just how racing under the new lights will be. To some drivers, this may be a significant change. We feel that by moving the hours of our open practice to later in the day, drivers will be afforded this opportunity before they race in competition under the new lights the very next week. As a result, the track will open at 3 PM on Thursday, May 15th and the open practice session will be held from 5 PM until 9 PM,” Hoenig said.
