Final Week of Racing Showcased Young Talent at Sugar Hill
Weare, NH – The sixteenth and final weekly racing series event
of the 2008 racing season was run off this past Sunday. On the line
were some very tight point battles. The battles were not only for
the championship, but in one case the difference between finishing
second and fifth. The tightest battle for the championship was in
the Jr. Outlaw 'A' division. TJ Jeski and Josh Annis came into
Sunday tied for the division title. Jeski turned in a solid
performance by winning his qualifying heat race and Annis finished
third. In the feature, Annis attempted to reclaimed the two points
lost in the qualifier by winning the feature. While there were
numerous lead changes, Jeski managed to lead the most laps and pick
up five bonus points as well as winning the feature, therefore
giving him the season championship. Complete

Jeski Grabs First at Sugar Hill
Weare, NH – Katelyn Jeski has been chasing a finish that has
been very elusive all year in the Jr. Outlaw 'B' division. That
finish of course would be first place. This past Sunday, Jeski
bested the field in their 25-lap main event to capture her first
win. Stephen Makela tried to look to the inside of Jeski a number of
times, but never managed to make it stick. Meanwhile he had his
hands full holding back Douglas Lazelle. Lazelle grabbed second and
shuffled Makela back a position as the field settled into a nose to
tail draft. Jeski had clear track to the checkers once the field
locked in to wind off 25 quick ones. Complete

PREPARATIONS WELL UNDERWAY FOR 2008 BANQUET OF CHAMPIONS
The date has been set for a year, but before we all know it, the
champion's banquet will be upon us. This year's banquet will be held
at the Grappone Conference Center in Concord, NH on Saturday,
November 15th. For tickets and more information, please
print an event flyer.
WORK BEGINS ON 2009 WEEKLY RACING SERIES
The 2008 season has just a handful of weeks remaining and the
management team at Sugar Hill Speedway has already begun working on
next year's schedule, and an on-site karting retail shop with safety
gear, parts, karts, and a 2009 rule book. Many of these items will
be in place prior to this year's championship banquet in November.
Racing action will remain on every Sunday in 2009 with the exception
of the two Sprint Cup Series races, Memorial Day, the 4th of
July, and Labor Day Weekends.
ENGINE & TIRE RULE REMINDER FOR 2009
In the 2008 rulebook, it states that all divisions will go to a
Briggs Animal and the Burris Tire in 2009. This decision stands and
will not be changed. These rules will not be integrated in 2008.
Animal engines will not be allowed in Flathead divisions during this
season, except where noted in the 2008 rulebook.
Chagnot Captures Win at Sugar Hill
Weare, NH – Matt Chagnot has had probably the worst luck of his
racing career in 2009, but finally shook the monkey off his back
this past Sunday when he won in the Box Stock Heavy Oval division.
Chagnot turned in a near perfect performance on the way to the win,
only swapping the lead with Dylan Payea on a handful of laps. Payea
and Eric Williams rounded out the top three.

Hammar Nails Win at Sugar Hill
Weare, NH – It was just a matter of time before a new winner
reached victory lane in the Jr. Outlaw 'B' division at Sugar Hill
Speedway. On Sunday, Ryan Hammer was that driver. Douglas Lazelle
has been showing great dominance in the class, but the entire field
has been getting better and faster as the weeks wind down in the
Sugar Hill season. Hammer grabbed the lead on the first lap and held
off challenges from Parker Mullins Jr.. Meanwhile, the field was
mixing it up behind the front two. Mullins maintained his second
position until Lazelle was able to get by for the checkers. Mullins
finished third followed by Stephen Makela and Katie Jeski rounding
out the top five.

Decourcy Wins First at Sugar Hill
Weare, NH – A reversal of fortune took place this past Sunday
for Jeremy Decourcy. A hard battle, a week prior, coming to the
checkers saw the leaders all spin coming off turn four and Dylan
Boutwell was the first driver to get his kart across the line for
the checkers; Decourcy finished the race on the curb. This past
Sunday, Decourcy hung back just enough while a similar race took
place at the front of the pack. The leaders tangled and Decourcy saw
all checkers as he worked his way by for his first Tiger Sprint 'B'
division win.

Burrant Returns to Victory Lane
Weare, NH – Several win streaks came to an end a week ago, but
many drivers hoped to start a new streak as they took to the
speedway this past Sunday. One of those drivers is Brittney Burrant
in the Eurasian Autoworks Jr. Champ division. Stephen Morsillo ended
Burrant's streak last week, but she returned with victory lane in
her sights. Burrant was able to convincingly win her feature race on
Sunday as Morsillo finished second followed by Nicoal Perreault
rounding out the top three.

Providing
Clarity on Rulebook
We have taken a few calls at the office since the rule book was
released. Here is some clarity to some of the questions received:
1. Define 'Sugar Hill Speedway Approved Engine Builder' -
For Tigers and Outlaws, there is no change. We will honor
seals from New England Kart Center and Wild Thing Karts. All motors
are still subject to technical inspection.
2. Box Stock Heavy Oval Seals -
We honor sealed motors from any authorized NorthEast Pavement
Series Engine Builder. If you don't want your motor inspected by a
professional engine builder before hitting the track (not
recommended) and want to have your motor drop shipped directly from
the manufacturer to the doorsteps at Sugar Hill Speedway, we will
seal on-site at the speedway. All motors are still subject to
technical inspection.
3. Sugar Hill Speedway reserves the right to seal any motor.
- If following a race day technical inspection, you want your motor
sealed before you leave the speedway. You can put it back together
in front of the Technical Inspector and a seal will be placed back
on your motor. All motors are still subject to technical inspection.
4. Why a Spec Tire? The Burris tire was chosen for a
number of reasons. We are aligning our rules with other tracks and
series. The tires longevity will keep the costs of racing down. With
a spec tire, Sugar Hill Speedway will set a durometer rule. This
will keep the playing field level. Burris Racing is giving back to
the racers. Burris Racing has been great to deal with in our off
season discussions and they offer an awards package for the racers
at the yearend banquet. In addition, they worked with Sugar Hill
Speedway to offer a tremendous discount to transition to a spec
tire. The compounds chosen will allow competitors to race at Sugar
Hill and in other races such as the NorthEast Pavement Series
without the added expense of purchasing a different tire for
everywhere they race. Campers
There is a new camping policy at Sugar Hill Speedway. Campers can
only be on the grounds for race weekends. Campers may not be stored
during the week. Generators and music must be turned off at night.
Our neighbors are very close and we must be respectful of this fact.
A curfew will be in place.
