spring days have melted away the winters record snowfall and set the
stage for a big weekend of Pro All Stars Series (PASS) racing at Beech
Ridge Motor Speedway in Scarborough.
According to series President Tom Mayberry, "I met with the Cusacks at
Beech Ridge yesterday (Tuesday) and we took a good look at the entire
facility. Eighty percent of the pits and parking lots are ready to go
today, and the forecast is for great weather right through race day.
The Beech Ridge maintenance team is hard at work on the grounds so
we're in great shape for our PASS North season opener. There may be
snow in your yard and mud in your driveway but we're ready to go
racing on Saturday and both practice days are on as scheduled."
Practice for all PASS and Beech Ridge divisions is set for both
Thursday April 17th and Friday April 18th from 2:00 until 7:00 P.M.
On Saturday it's the Cabin Fever 150 for the PASS North super late
models and there's a strong field ready to take to the tricky
Scarborough oval for the SLM lid lifter.
Multi time PASS champions Ben Rowe and Johnny Clark will both be
looking to get their 2008 championship drives off to a solid start but
the list of challengers is stronger than ever. John Flemming has moved
his race team from Nova Scotia to Maine to take a stab at the title.
He's got three maritime titles to his credit already so he knows what
it takes to wear the crown. Cassius Clark, Mike Rowe and Richie
Dearborn are all loaded for bear. Both Kelly Moore and Scott Chubbuck
have what it takes to be PASS Champion should they decide to challenge
for the title. Travis Benjamin, Derek Ramstrom and Adam Bates are all
on the verge of breakthrough seasons, and there are plenty of wild
card teams that will factor in to Saturdays season opener. Northern
Race Tires rookie challengers D.J. Shaw, Jimmy Chambers and Harry
Olson, veterans like Donnie Whitten, Steve Knowlton, Kirk Thibeau –
the list is long and talented.
The Pluffybilt Racing Tractors Sportman and the PASS Mods will both
kick off their seasons Saturday, and they're just as ready and eager
to go racing as their super late model counterparts.
Grandstand gates swing open for the Cabin Fever 150 at 11:30 AM and
the first green flag of the 2008 PASS North season waves at 3:00 PM
sharp.
