After a very intense and fast moving thundershower roared over the pit area in Claremont, New Hampshire the Texas Roadhouse North East Mini Stock Tour took to the tight 1/3 speedway for the first of two practice sessions.
With a large group of the field being separated by only 2-3 tenths of a second a lap the large field was sure to put on an impressive show under the lights. 17 tour style minis packed into the pit area for the NEMST’s second visit to Twin State Speedway.

Bartemy scales light, Dupree wins
Airborne recap June 18, 2011
South Plattsburgh, NY – Aaron Bartemy and Patrick Dupree treated Airborne fans to an exciting close-quarters duel in the final 15 laps of the DIRTcar Modified main event Saturday. Bartemy was first to the finish line, but the Sheldon, VT racer’s No. B3 weighed in too light during post-race inspection. Apparent third-place finisher Martin Hebert was also disqualified for illegal cylinder heads.
The rules violations bumped Max Viens of Ste. Cesaire, QC into the runner-up spot and moved Andy Heywood into third. Positions 4-5-6 went to George Foley, Craig Reyell and Kris Vernold.

Ste-Croix, QC – St-Edouard’s Patrick Hamel earned his first career Série ACT Castrol win after inheriting the lead with just seven laps remaining in the Hamel Construction 100 at Riverside Speedway in Ste-Croix, QC. Hamel ran in the second position for most of the event while battling with early leader Claude Leclerc and Donald Theetge in the later stages of the event. Hamel put up a great battle but over the final 47 lap green flag run it appeared he had nothing left for Theetge.
Theetge was working his way through a couple of lap cars with Hamel hanging several car lengths back with seven laps to go. Theetge made contact with a lap car going into turn three on the 94th circuit, which created a slow leak in his left front tire. Hamel passed the slowing Theetge and cruised to the win. Theetge limped around for the remaining laps and finished 16th just one lap down.
