The crowd on their feet cheering on their favorite drivers. The drivers racing hard, side by side and fender to fender for the ultimate prize, the checkered flag.. The pit crews working constantly to try and get their car to go just a little bit better then the crew in the next pit stall over. Sound like fun to you? Well then come on out to The Center of Speed, Wiscasset Raceway on Saturday at 5pm and Sunday at 2pm to see a full card of action packed stock car racing. The 150 lap Late Model portion of the 300 weekend has more then just $5,000 pay day to the winner but the driver who crosses the finish line first will have a guaranteed starting spot in the A.C.T Invitational at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, N.H. Whoever the winner may be the win is not going to come easy Chris Thorne, Joey Pole and T.J. Watson just to name a few have already signed up. If that wasn\u2019t enough how about the 150 lap Pro-Stock portion of the big weekend which will feature such drivers as Mike Rowe, Scott Chubbuck, Charlie Colby and Scott Moore and more. The biggest news for the weekend though may just be Johnny Clark who will be attempting to compete in both 150 lap races Sunday and is looking to be the first driver to ever win two 150 lap races on the same day at Wiscasset Raceway. Also race fans bring your campers and tents because Saturday Night Crazy Larry, Maine Elvis impersonator will be performing and hosting karaoke.<\/p>\n<p>Operation Recognition<br \/>\nSilent Auction<br \/>\nSunday August 16th<br \/>\nDon&#8217;t miss it!<\/p>\n<p>Item<\/p>\n<p>Donor<\/p>\n<p>Home Energy Auditing<\/p>\n<p>Home Energy Auditor<\/p>\n<p>3 Month Gift Certificate<\/p>\n<p>Curves of Boothbay<\/p>\n<p>Smoker\/Grill<\/p>\n<p>Home Depot<\/p>\n<p>Serving Platter<\/p>\n<p>Edgecomb Potters<\/p>\n<p>4 Tickets + Pit Passes<\/p>\n<p>Wiscasset Raceway<\/p>\n<p>Ride for 2 Antique By-Plane<\/p>\n<p>Owls Head Transportation Museum<\/p>\n<p>1 Night Stay (2 separate entries)<\/p>\n<p>Captain Lord Mansion<\/p>\n<p>Cordless Tool set\/Bench<\/p>\n<p>Ames True Value Hardware<\/p>\n<p>$50 Bond (2 separate entries)<\/p>\n<p>First National Bank<\/p>\n<p>4&#8242; Glass Mirror<\/p>\n<p>Wiscasset Glass<\/p>\n<p>Boston Larger Cooler Bag (4 separate entries)<\/p>\n<p>Sam Adams Beer\/Boston Beer Co.<\/p>\n<p>1 year Subscription Wiscasset Newspaper\/Boothbay Register<\/p>\n<p>Wiscasset\/Boothbay Register<\/p>\n<p>Josh Beckett signed Baseball<\/p>\n<p>Boston Red Sox Foundation<\/p>\n<p>Leon Powe signed Basketball<\/p>\n<p>Celtics Foundation<\/p>\n<p>4 Tickets to 300 Raceway\/ Reserved Seating<\/p>\n<p>Wiscasset Raceway<\/p>\n<p>4 Days\/3 Night stay\/Bar Harbor<\/p>\n<p>Major and Mrs. R Suydam III<\/p>\n<p>Gift Basket<\/p>\n<p>Gryffon Ridge<\/p>\n<p>Gift Certificate 93 Townsend Restaurant<\/p>\n<p>93 Townsend Restaurant<\/p>\n<p>Gift Certificate<\/p>\n<p>Sarah&#8217;s Restaurant<\/p>\n<p>2 Hour Boat Cruise ( quantity (?))<\/p>\n<p>River Run Tours<\/p>\n<p>Flag flown over US Capital<\/p>\n<p>Congressman Michaud<\/p>\n<p>1 painting<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Boucher<\/p>\n<p>1 year adult membership to the Boothbay YMCA<\/p>\n<p>Elise Roberts<\/p>\n<p>Gift Cert<\/p>\n<p>Reny&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>Gift Basket (sports related)<\/p>\n<p>RelivMaine<\/p>\n<p>Free Chimney Cleaning<\/p>\n<p>Robert Conlin &#8211; Maine Coast Chimney Co.<\/p>\n<p>Operation Recognition is a non-profit, non-partisan group, founded to deliver a long-overdue Thank-you! to our servicemen and women.
