Hudson, New Hampshire young gun Derek Griffith had a respectable season, finishing fourth on the season, with six (6) top-five and ten (10) top-ten finishes in eleven (11) races, but the elusive “W” has evaded the LCM Racing Engines team. Griffith is trying to change that in 2015.
The word from the Valenti Modified Racing Series is that the tour hired Warren Alston as the Race Director for 2015. Warren was the flagman last year and brings a lot of experience to the position. Flagman John Spence, Jr, will be his backup when needed and already has two shows to do this season.

We have heard reports that Francis Venditti President of Seekonk Speedway is looking hard at building a 1/8 mile drag strip on the extensive track property. This has been looked at over the 70 years that the track has existed.

Work with them and consider their concerns about noise and hours of operation. It’s a good opportunity for that venue to expand their business. After all Seekonk Speedway pays a tax bill to the Town of Seekonk every year and is entitled to some carefully planned expansion.
