LEE, N.H. — A full 14-race program, including six feature events, plus “Back to School Night” rides in race cars for youngsters and the Senior
Tour Auto Racers Tour for older race fans highlights this Friday night’s action at Lee USA Speedway.
Hobby Stocks will be running in twin 25-lap feature events presented by David’s Race Cars of Derry, N.H. The two 25-lap features give drivers a chance at their biggest payday this season.
Late Model Sportsmen cars will run qualifying heats plus a 30-lap feature race. The late models are corning off a 50-lap feature last week won by Frankie Eldredge, topping a 20-car field.
Super-modifieds will be running heat races plus a 30-lap main event. Drivers will be looking to snap Leslie Keyser’s two-feature win streak in his new No.27 winged roadster. Keyser will be starting in the rear of this Friday’s feature.
Pure stocks and Ironmen stocks also will be running heats plus 25-lap feature events.
The Senior Auto Racers Tour will include several famous cars from past generations between the 1960s and 1980s. One will be the famed Ollie Silva No.O Pinto-boadied modified now owned and driven by Rick Eastman of Merrimac. Another will be the Eddie Flemke modified coupe No.2X which won races throughout New England and the entire East Coast. It is now owned and driven by Charlie Lima, of West Warwick, R.I.
Two divisions of cars will make up the Senior Tour event with heat races and main events.
Youngsters will be allowed to get in race cars and take a ride with a pro driver around the speedway for a couple laps. The always-popular annual event starts at 6:30 p.m. and will last a half hour. Racing will begin at 7:15 p.m.
