Modifieds heat-Eric Vilandre black flagged for being 24" too wide

Dick Dubois won the battle but Keith Caruso won the war in the V-6 Modified Division’s season ending race at

Hudson International Speedway on Sunday afternoon October 3rd. Caruso won the season long points

Championship for the second season in a row. Caruso had a large cushion over second place pointsman Eric

Vilandre and just needed to start the feature race to clinch his second consecutive V-6 Mod title.

Vilandre had a much smaller lead over third place pointsman Chris Keubler and needed to borrow a few cars but

hung on to second in points by days end. Vilandre’s engine blew up the last time the V-6 Mods raced and borrowed

a ride for the last day of racing but that car had axle issues during pace laps before the start of the heat so

Vilandre borrowed another car for the feature, this time from Walter Boucher who had just won the heat. Vilandre

had more mechanical issues in Boucher’s car when he got loose off turn two, slid through the infield and messed

up the transmission ending his day but with enough points to keep Kuebler behind him.

Dubois returned from his self-imposed two race exile to win his second feature of the season. With the win Dubois

Brooks Jr., Caruso, Louie Maher, Kuebler and Vilandre.

Classic Lites

Classic Lite heat

Tom Harton led the first half of the Classic Lite feature before losing the lead to Jimmy Ryder Jr. Ryder Jr. looked

like he had a real good chance to pick up another win after he took the lead as no one was gaining much ground

on him but Ryder Jr. tangled a bit with a lapped car and before he could gather it back up the three cars of Billy

Ryder, Eddie Gilman and Rob Byrant got past him and he fell in line in fourth spot. The top four were within a few

car lengths of each other the rest of the way but no one could get close enough to the others to make a pass and

at the stripe it was Ryder followed by Gilman, Byrant, Ryder Jr., George Helliwell, Harton, Shane Reinhold, Jon

Provost, Jeff Gilman and Dwayne Skofield.

Classic Light feature

Roadrunners

Hudson NH’s own Derek Griffith was quick to grab the lead in the Roadrunner main and put some distance

between him and the rest of the pack early on. At the halfway point Griffith held a good lead but was coming up

on lapped traffic. Traffic was a nightmare for Griffith as slower cars were running side-by-side battling for position

and to stay on the lead lap and Griffith had to use his chrome horn to dispatch of a few. A late race caution for Jef

James’ off road experience bunched the field up for a restart. Dave Helliwell was over Griffith’s bumper for the

remaining laps but wasn’t able to pass Griffith. Helliwell was second followed by Jason Carroll, “Lugnut” Louie

Maher, Myles Devits, James, Loren Smith Jr., Jen Lord, Peter Raby and Nick Fissette, Sr.

over John Morin Jr. With two weeks of racing remaining Wendell can clinch his second consecutive Rookie Stock

championship next week if he maintains his current lead. John Cashman ran a superb race, leading many laps

before Wendell passed him and finished second. Dan Murphy Jr. came home third followed by Slika Ennis, Morin

Jr., Chris Jacobson, Charles Roberto, Rolande Laplante, Scotty Duval and Corrie Merritt.

Thunder Lites

Jarrod Soucy won his second Thunder Lite feature of the season. It was a much better result for the Marlboro MA

youngster after bouncing off the front stretch wall in last weeks heat race and doing a lot of suspension damage to

his VW Rabbit GTI. Soucy was followed over the finish line by Sammy ”Hand Me Down” Gilman, Nick Fissette,

Chad Wendell, Carlos Esquivel, Kordell Colon, Meegan Lord, Mike Gelinas and John Daughenbaugh.

Outlaw Sportsman Peter Fiandaca with John Spence and Deryl Morley

Peter Fiandaca scored a popular win in the Outlaw Sportsman division at Hudson International Speedway on

Sunday afternoon Sept. 12th.

Outlaw Sportsman Peter Fiandaca with Mitch Wendell and Tim Casey

Fiandaca started on the outside but slipped back in the opening laps allowing pole sitter Ron Lord Jr. to lead the

first few circuits. Tim Casey took a turn leading some laps after passing Lord Jr. Mitch Wendell was next up to lead

the race when he passed Casey on a restart after a caution for Jay Maki who was trying to BBQ his carburetor off

turn two.

Mitch Wendell

The next to lead was Geoff Rollins but his lead lasted about fifty feet as a caution came out for a spinning Wendell

and it was determined the Rollins was involved in Wendell’s spin putting both drivers to the rear for a restart.

Outlaw Sprotsman Bob Munroe and Peter Fiandaca

Fiandaca inherited the lead at that point and brought the famed #135 under the checkers in first for the 323rd

feature win of his long career. Wendell came back to finish second. Casey was third followed by Rollins, Bobby

Allen, Kevin Kephardt, Ricky “Bobby” Woodside, John Meany, Keith “Dynamite” Walton and Lord Jr. Casey and
