Burgess Wins Unity's Long John 100

Unity, ME ? Unity Raceway closed the 2006 racing season in New England 
Sunday. Despite the cold temperatures racers showed up in full force.

The White & Bradstreet Mini Stocks and the Sun Auto & Salvage Mini 
Trucks combined for 50 laps of excitement. Winter Harbor?s Justin 
Trombley took advantage of his front row starting spot and never 
looked back leading all 50 laps. Lance Chapman of Fairfield had 
difficulty in lapped traffic while running second and became the meat 
in the sandwich of two back markers. The incident ended Chapman?s day. 
Unity Raceway track champion, Carl McAlpine of Burnham started the 
race almost all the way to the tail of the thirty one car field but 
was able to get into the top five in the caution filled first half of 
the race. After getting into the Top five McAlpine had to pit for a 
flat tire and try to come back up through the field. McAlpine would 
have to settle for third.
