The second part of the “Double Header Weekend”, White Mountains Motorsports Park in North Woodstock, NH would be the scene for the Senior Tour Auto Racers.  Just the night before STAR was at Lee USA Speedway and a lot of the racers made the second trip to White Mountains.  Those that didn’t missed out on a great day!  It was nice to see those that didn’t make it to Lee show up at White Mountains.  The car count was great and the racing was fantastic.  Cars from all over New England and Canada joined in on the FUN!

Thunder in the Mountains” and that just what it was as the Senior Tour Auto Racers rolled into White Mountains Motorsports Park on August 25th.  You could hear the echoes of the engines throughout the mountains as these vintage modifieds have a sound of their own!  STAR would walk the fans of WMMP back into time with vintage racing at its best!

The day started for STAR with warm-ups from 1 to 3, giving both divisions equal time on the track to get their cars ready for heats and features that would follow that night. And these guys had a blast with the warm up time.  To be able to go in and out for 2 hours just trying their cars out!  You could not ask for more!  Oh yes and Mother Nature was giving us another great day of racing.

The first to hit the asphalt was the Sportsmen division for their heat race.  It would be new member Stephane Laliberte from Quebec Canada in his #66 Mustang to take down the first checkered for the evening and the heat win for the Sportsmen division.  Congratulations Stephane!

The Modifieds were lined up and ready for their heat race. It was a tight race with positions switching from lap to lap.  Charlie Lima from Ma in his #2X coupe made his move and took down the second checkered and the heat win for the Modified division.

Back in the pits like usually, guys were cooking hotdogs and hamburgers for the members, gathering together for their story time, laughs and just having FUN!

Then it was time for the feature races to take place.  In the Sportsmen division it was Rookie Richard Butler from Ma in is #21 coupe to take the checkered and his first win for the Sportsmen division of STAR.  Congratulations Richard!  Art Merchant from Ma in his #64 coupe took a second and finishing off the pack with a third was Curt Snow from Ma in his #110 coupe.   The coupes ruled that night in the Sportsmen division!  Top three were brought trackside for an out of car interview and awarded with trophies.

 In the Modified division it would be Jocelyn Laliberte from Quebec Canada in his #61QC Pinto to take the checkered and the feature win for the Modifieds.  Charlie Lima from Ma in his #2X coupe trailed Liberte pulling off a close second.  Alan Zemla from Me in his #43 coupe finished off the pack with a third.   Top three were brought trackside for an out of car interview and awarded with trophies.  It was nice to see the winners inter act with the crowd, making jokes and the fans enjoyed the jokes and laughs, TRUE SPORTSMENSHIP GUYS!

STAR would like to thank White Mountains Motorsports Park and their entire staff for all their hospitality and a great day and night at WMMP!  See you next year!
