Winchester, NH: This past Saturday, Monadnock Speedway held their annual test and tune session for the home track competitors and visiting tours. The pits were filled with a lot of activity with mostly all divisions represented along with a strong field of Modified Touring Series competitors taking advantage to shake down their cars prior to the big event this Saturday.
The speedway’s feature division, the Sportsman Modifieds, were well represented in the test and tune session as eighteen teams took the track. This division will be a mix of experience and rookies with the championship title up for grabs. The 2016 champion, Bill Kimball, will not be competing this season as he has handed the race machine down to his son Matt who will be one of several rookies entering into competition this year. This division is expected to have a full field of talented drivers all vying for the 2017 title and will offer the fans a thrilling season of competition. (more…)
