World Series of Speedway Racing Oct 12-14th

[steve1840]

Well... as in the world of baseball, the World Series brings to a close a long, demanding, and fun season. This rings true in the world of local auto racing in New England. The World Series of Speedway Racing is a three day event that brings together racers from all over the east coast and Canada in 16 different divisions for the honor of winning the coveted World Series plaque given to the winner of each division's race. As a few of my close friends on the forum know, the months from March to Oct are consumed by racing for me which is why I have not been on the forums much and I do not get out spotting as much as I'd like to. But, now that the official end of racing for the year has come, I shall now get in my fair share of spotting.

Having said that, here are some of my shots from the World Series.....

I'll start off with some ISMA Super Modifieds. These guys get upwards of 180 mph on a 5/8 mile short track, and I must say are quite insane.







NEMA Midgets....these guys are only half as insane as the ISMA guys...



My favorite NASCAR touring series....the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour









There just might have been a little bit of unburned fuel in the exhaust when he refired the engine on the #82....


PASS Super Late Models







click on any of the photos to see 300+ more photos from the weekend....more to come as well

Really nice work, Steve! Good job. I've loved the NASCAR Modifieds since the first time I saw them at Freeport, around 1970.

Steve...........nice set! Hopefully you had a great season of racing. I'm sure you must have to bug to get out and shoot some aircraft.

Thanks moose. I prefer watching the Mods over the Cup cars any day.

Thanks Mark. I have had a great season and i misspoke, my season ends next week on or makeup date for a rain date. But as long as th weather clears up today I will hit PVD in the afternoon to get some of this pent up spotting desire taken care of.
