RPM Motorsports: Subway Fresh Fit 150
Canaan Fair Speedway Race Preview
THE STORY
GEORGIA, Vt. – Brian Hoar of Williston, Vt., and RPM Motorsports take a break from ACT Late Model Tour racing this week to compete in the $5,000-to-win Subway Fresh Fit 150 at Canaan Fair Speedway in Canaan, N.H., on Saturday, May 12. Hoar finished second last year in the open competition for ACT-legal Late Models, and he’s looking to use the event to get the RPM Motorsports No. 37 GossCars.com Dodge Charger back on track following a disappointing 11th-place finish last weekend in the ACT Spring Green 112 at Devil’s Bowl Speedway.

Saturday May 12 is opening day at New Hampshire’s Star Speedway and the tough quarter mile will do it in style with Pro All Stars Series (PASS) North super late models and PASS Mods headlining the show.
The action at the Webber family’s Epping bull ring is always fast and furious. The 150 green flag laps go by in a hear beat, and a good run in the qualifying races goes a long way toward a strong feature finish.
Joey Doiron won’t start better than eleventh on Saturday. That’s because the Berwick Maine racer captured his first PASS North feature last Saturday at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway, and PASS feature winners never start in the top ten. He’ll have to battle his way to the front, but Doiron knows his way around Star Speedway and there’s little doubt he will challenge for the win. Doiron and Lonnie Sommerville sit tied at the top of the points after the season opener.

Back-To-Back Top-10 Finishes Have Second-Year Driver Rolling
At the end of a long day of practice at Thunder Road International Speedbowl two weeks ago, Luke Hinkley was noticeably frustrated.
The Claremont, N.H., driver had thrown everything he could think of at his No. 31 R.E. Hinkley Oil Dodge Charger to no avail. Nothing was making the car circle the peculiar quarter-mile any more efficiently. If Hinkley had a kitchen sink at his disposal, he probably would have thrown that at the ill-tempered car, too.
So, Hinkley made a phone call across the Green Mountains to Mitch Green, and in the middle of the night, Green offered up some advice. That advice turned Hinkley’s team around 180 degrees – turning the No. 31 from a car that simply wouldn’t go to one that most of the other ACT Late Model Tour teams couldn’t keep up with when practice resumed the next morning.
