ACT INVITATIONAL PRACTICE SET FOR NHMS
Waterbury, VT – The American Canadian Tour (ACT) and the New Hampshire Motor Speedway (NHMS) have announced that a two-day test and tune session has been scheduled for Tuesday, August 17 and Wednesday, August 18, 2010 in preparation for the second ACT Invitational to be held as part of the classic triple header at NHMS on Saturday, September 18, 2010.
The practice sessions, which give invited teams nearly eight hours of practice each day at the famous ‘Magic Mile’, were a racing highlight for many teams last season in preparation for the inaugural running of the ACT Invitational in 2009. Because of the time constraints with the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Whelen Modified Tour, and NASCAR Truck Series participating at NHMS over the weekend of September 18th, this becomes the only time for the ACT teams to get quality seat time at the region’s only super speedway.

Canaan, NH – When race fans and competitors assemble this weekend at Canaan Fair Speedway, Canaan, NH, two people will be remembered for the impact their lives had on those around them, and the impact they still continue to have today.
Ricky Miller passed away at age 34 from injuries suffered in a racing accident. David Cyr passed way at age 5 after a three-year battle with acute lymphocytic leukemia. Neither family knew each other. In the last two years they have bonded for the same cause.

Hudson NH – Billy Ryder won the John Bourdelais Jr. Memorial race this past Sunday at Hudson International Speedway. Bourdelais Jr. was a fixture on his Dads racing team at Star Speedway. His days were spent working alongside his dad and his nights were spent in the garage with his dads race team or fishing and camping with his friends. Always quick with a joke, his easygoing nature is fondly remembered by his family and many friends. He had raced some Enduros and at the time of his death in a tragic traffic accident three years ago a brand new streeter was being built for him by the Bourdelais team.
