The Modified Racing Series gives Bob Valenti AutoMall the opportunity to continue our sponsorship at the local level while expanding our reach to consumers throughout New England”. Valenti added, “The Modified Racing Series and Bob Valenti AutoMall.com are the perfect fit as they both offer exciting vehicles at a great value to the customer.

CT. .Press Conference NEMA & NEMA LITES MIDGETS - Saturday - 4:15 to 5:15 NEMA Announces July 21st “Showdown Of Champions” at Seekonk Speedway (Brockton, MA) On Wednesday July 21, Seekonk Speedway hosts the Northeastern Midget Association’s “Showdown of Champions” a star-studded 25-lap event featuring some of the most-heralded racing talent ever assembled in New England. Announced during a NEMA press conference held at the recent Racers Expo Trade Show in Marlborough, MA. the race will be part of Seekonk’s “Open Wheel Wednesday” event which also features a full slate of action for the NEMA full-Midgets. Organizers drew from a vast talent pool for the “Showdown” coming up with a cast of championship-caliber competitors representing several different segments of the sport. Competing in equally-prepared NEMA Lites Series entries in a 25-lap dash will be Nokie & Drew Fornoro, Chris Perley, Russ Wood, Ted Christopher, Mike Stefanik, Bentley Warren, Vinny Annarummo, and Fred Astle. The group represents literally hundreds of victories and multiple championships in everything from Indy Cars, Midgets and Sprint Cars, to Modifieds, Super Modifieds, and Pro Stocks. There remains the possibility of more “notable” racers being added to the roster. “We worked diligently at getting some of the best drivers from all facets of the sport to participate, and the response was overwhelmingly positive,” stated NEMA Lites Series Race Director Steve Grant. “We aimed for an absolute “All-Star” cast competing on a completely-level playing ground. In the months-ahead, we’ll be working even-further to assure that the Lites Series cars we’ll be utilizing for the event are truly-equal in performance for these guys. It’s an opportunity for fans to see the “Cream of the Crop” all in one event. There will be no advantages – this one will go to the best driver. With all the talent in this group, “bragging-rights” are sure to be a top priority,” he says. Started with only a handful of entries in 2008, the Lites Series has served as both an economic starting-point for new drivers to get involved in what remains one of the countries “purest” forms of open-wheel competition, and also as a venue for some of the most-seasoned of NEMA competitors. Utilized in the division are economical “sealed” engines. Only a few other subtle differences separate the Lites cars from their “full” Midget counterparts. The competition is both thrilling and equal, setting the stage for a great deal of “side-by-side” racing. . .

The Expo also offered seminars of all types and as an activist for safety, I attended the Joie of Seating seminar which included Safety Solutions and Schroth Racing harnesses. I knew from losing Shane exactly what can happen in a high speed crash. I would like to send a wake up call out to the racers - serious injuries can happen at 35 just as well as 135mph! Please take care of yourselves by using the proper safety equipment. Educate yourselves and use it all properly. Be sure you have an approved helmet, a head/neck restraint and be sure those belts are mounted to that seat correctly and tightened to your body. The foundation is working hard for you! Please take the extra measures to ensure your safety! Do your homework and take the steps to educate yourself and the foundation will do everything in its power to help you, help yourself. Thank you to all who donated, purchased or signed up for the upcoming Shane Race for Fun, March 13. Good luck and be safe in your 2010 racing season. Believe,    Deb .
