    Canaan - $12,000 to win

    There will be different opinions on this race, whether they should have scheduled it on the same day as Loudon or not.

    1. It is an M R S race, not an open race, so I don't think they should be concerned whether or not it's an inconvience to the Whelen Tour or not.

    2. Supposedly, they are going to start later tho, so that if any body is coming from Loudon, it is a doable thing ( not sure if that's for fans only or for the possible drivers too.)

    3. I usually try to go to Waterford or back home to Riverhead, but this actually makes it easier for me and some people I know who will do the double.

    4. Some say the crowd will be down because of Loudon and I hope this isn't so. I know they tried something like this few years ago , for 5000 to win and if I remember right, the crowd wasn't so great. But hopefully people will remember this is Ricky's memorial race and its 12000 to win, and that will make the crowd a good size.

    5. I think they have sponsors that have put up the money, so it's not like the track takes a bath if the crowd isn't great. Sponsors are putting up the money , not to make a profit, but for other reasons. I know I'll be there to support them.

    6. I hope last year's winner of this race somehow figures out a way to get to both races. If it can be done, do it!

    7. Support the modifieds and plan to do the double on July 16. May the weather cooperate.

    I think this is the best date on the Tour/MRS schedule. Not that far of a drive and a nice facility. All I know is it cant be any hotter then it was last year.

    The Loudon-Seekonk double header will be a lot trickier.

    Seekonk ran a make up race a few years ago the same day as Loudon. We were able to do both.

    Nothing's impossible if you want it bad enough. Lime Rock to Monadnock last year and Stafford to Seekonk on a Sunday in October few years ago were some fun doubles. Almost made the Loudon to Riverhead last year. If not for some rain in the area, they may have slowed the program a bit and I would have made it!

    Louden to Riverhead is easy if you have the right vehicle...

    OMG... and I actually suggested that one.. Take the modmaniac title away from me. Of course i'd like to go on record that I had no intention of doing that myself.. ( Refer to 2011 schedule) Just was getting that info out there for anyone who would settle for racing of any kind.

    And though i won't make a special post for this thought... I was wondering...has the K & N schedule come out yet? Or has the series been dropped entirely?

    I think they are waiting for the Whelen Modified Series Sponsored by LImodmaniac and K & N stationary to come back from the printers before the big announcement.

    I believe the Canaan dirt track runs some sort of Small Block\Sportsman Mods on Friday nigts.
