Kyle Treadwell of Auburn, Maine will be racing in the Pro Late Model Series at Oxford Plains Speedway this race season. Over the winter months Kyle, like most race car drivers has kept busy, “The off season has been pretty wild so far. It started off by building a wildcat for Beech Ridge, and midway through the build we got the idea to make the jump to Pro Late Models. My car owner presented the money and we purchased a ACT car to convert over. And of course, just as big of news, I won the light weight feature of the DT100. That event is absolutely amazing. The dedication and hard work Dave Thomas and his team have put in is unbelievable. The event this year was able to raise just over $30,000 for Make-A-Wish. The list of drivers Dave has been able to get to compete is great, a lot of talent from 10+ states. We are all in equally prepared karts so it’s all bragging rights.”

Donald Rideout of Washburn, ME is one of the drivers competing in the Northern Lights & Bombers Series at Spud Speedway.
Like most race car drivers Donald has spent the off season getting ready for the 2014 race season at Spud Speedway. “I have been working on our upcoming Camp Adventure raffle. I also try to help out as much as I can by answering questions that other racers sometimes have about multiple topics. I try to help support the track and help other drivers as much as possible. I also race RC trucks in the off season. It helps to satisfy the competitive urge. Of course, I’m also building a new Bomber car this year. Bomber cars require much less time and money to build and since this winter seems to be dragging on forever it will be a quick build. I can’t really do much with it in the cold months since our garage is not heated.”
