Canaan, NH \u2013 The debut race for the Granite State Pro Stock
\nSeries is fast approaching, and series officials are busy preparing
\nfor the first event. The inaugural race, scheduled for Friday
\nNight, August 19, at Twin State Speedway, Claremont, NH.,
\nwill feature the \u201cGary\u2019s Disposal 100\u201d pro stock race with additional prize money posted.
\n
\nRicky\u2019s Race for Kids organizers have added $ 1,000 to the
\npurse in honor of John Hoyt, the series director, who passed away recently. Hoyt was a driving force in getting the new series off the ground. <\/p>\n
The race will now pay $2,000 to win with $1200 going to the second place car, and $700 to the third place finisher.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Bly Machine, of Sunapee, NH., will sponsor qualifying heat races.<\/p>\n
Interest in the new race program has come from several veteran
\ndrivers. <\/p>\n
Monadnock Speedway hot shoe Barry Gray is pre-registered, as is, long-time competitor Fran Colson. New Hampshire pro stock drivers, Mike Parks, Dave Davis, Chris Wilk, Kevin Bolduc, and Seekonk Speedway front-runner, Jake Vanada, of Berkeley, MA., are also pre-registered.
\nA special 50-lap Strictly Stock race, presented by VPE Inc. of Perkinsville Vt., has been added to the card, with $500 going to the winner.<\/p>\n
The Allison Legacy Series and a 4-cylinder Enduro event will also be part of program.
\nJack Bateman, Mike Parks, and the late John Hoyt, founded the GSPSS. Officials from Bateman\u2019s Modified Racing Series will be officiating the Twin State event. Former series technical director Pete Frappier will also work the Aug 19 race.<\/p>\n
