Jul 9, 2010 | North East Mini Stock Tour
The North East Mini Stock Tour is heading north for its first Maine race of the year at Unity Raceway. Last year we made two attempts at Unity, but rain washed those plans away both times. In the unfortunate chance that rain soaks the track on Saturday night the NEMST will be on hand for the rain date on Sunday with races starting at 2 P.M.!
The tour has been great so far year to date with Justin Trombley leading the point standings due to a 2nd place finish at Canaan and a win last weekend at White Mountain. With last years Champion Emerson Cayer sitting a little further back in the standings then he is accustomed to due to a blown radiator hose early in the race at White Mountain.
