The New Waterford Speedbowl May 31, 2008
Another weekend of rain in the forecast left many Pro Four Modifieds of New England teams waiting until the last minute before making the trek to The New Waterford Speedbowl. Kraze Korlacki Speed Equipment of Seekonk, MA, sponsored this week’s feature race. Although the weather forecast was uncertain, we fielded 17 cars for this event, the highest car count so far this season. With many teams still scrambling to get going for the 2008 season, car counts should only climb with future races. We have still yet to have many of our veteran drivers bring their race cars from a longer winters nap!
It was great to see the hauler of Dan Meservey’s #11a arrive for the first time this year. Many of the Pro Four Crews converged on his hauler to help him unload and get ready for the feature.

Epping, NH — The green flag will fly this Saturday, June 7 for the second race of the $20,000 WaterSnoGo All-Star Modified Showdown four race series at All-Star Speedway in southern New Hampshire.
Nine-Time NASCAR Champion Mike Stefanik is the current leader of the WaterSnoGo Series, having won the Laticrete 150 back on May 10. He won that race with a 1996 Troyer Chassis, which is further proof at All-Star that a combination of driver ability and handling are the keys to success. Having more money to race means little at this quarter-mile facility.

Seekonk, MA — With a steady rain coming down, and a forecast that showed more of the same for the next several hours, Seekonk Speedway management was forced to cancel the Cirelli Food night for Saturday, May 31. The ARC Pro Stocks, Late Models, Seekonk Sport Trucks and Street Stocks will return on Saturday, June 7th, as NeoLite Signs will bring up the action packed night featuring the 1st Annual Dusty Young Memorial for the Late Models.
Also on tap is the 2nd Annual Kraze Korlacki Speed Equipment 30/30 for the Street Stocks. 2007’s event was one of the most exciting races on the schedule for the Street Stocks.

Winners so far in the Street Stocks include 3 first time winners Steve Axon of Attleboro MA, Chris DeMoura of North Dighton and Jeff Amaral of Bristol RI.
