Waterbury, VT – With Mother Nature postponing the first event for the second consecutive year, the American-Canadian Tour (ACT) is ready to open the 2016 racing season at Maine’s Oxford Plains Speedway. The event, scheduled for Sunday April 17, will be one of four doubleheader combination races with the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) in 2016.
The two largest touring series in the Northeast will also run twin bills at White Mountain Motorsports Park (WMMP) in North Woodstock, NH on July 23, a second event at Oxford Plains Speedway on August 27 and the final combined event at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough, ME on September 17 & 18.
“The first ACT/PASS doubleheader was a success by every measure,” Oxford Plains Speedway President Tom Mayberry said. “The event saw strong car counts, one of the biggest Opening Day crowds at Oxford in years, and great racing across the board. We’re excited to once again have both series open the Oxford Plains Speedway season.”
Wiscasset Speedway kicks off the 2016 race season on April 23rd, though the driver of the #78 pro-stock Ivan Kaffel, has had a busy off season but is ready to go racing. “This off season I’ve been playing on an elite 8th grade AAU (Amateur Athletics Union) basketball team that travels all over New England.”
Kaffel Motorsports will be busy this race season, racing at Oxford Plans Speedway as well as Wiscasset Speedway, “To race our local tracks in our family owned Super Late Model.”
Wiscasset Speedway is Maines fastest track, so what does it the key to getting around the 3/8 mile race track? “For me it was getting through the bumps coming out of turn 4.”
Connor Wenners, of Edgecomb, Maine is gearing up for another race season driving the #4 car in the NEFCP “4-Cylinder Pro’s Series, at Wiscasset Speedway.
Race season is almost here as Wiscasset Speedway drops the green flag on April 23rd though Connor has kept himself busy during the off season. “I played football in the fall. During the winter I like to snowboard, but this year hasn’t been the greatest!”
