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.”
