The Dragons Brent, Bobby & Beaver to hit the dirt in the Sportsman Modifieds Saturday May 30th with announcing of this historic event by none other than the God Father of Racing, MRN Turn 2 Guy Dave Moody!! Don't miss this great event
KDD NAPA of Bradford and Wicked Racing~Snap-on Tool nights results
Fans who came to see the best short track dirt racing in New England Saturday night at Bear Ridge Speedway did not leave disappointed, as they were afforded the opportunity to see winners made in each of the five 99ROCK weekly racing series divisions not once but twice before the final checkers waved on the action packed night.
Up first were the makeup races from opening nights KDD NAPA sponsored events, in each of the five divisions and the P&C Hornet Queens, along with two make up features for the Bond Auto Sportsman Modifieds.
In the KDD NAPA Ridge Runner Hornets segment two picked right up from where segment one left off with a full field of cars, and edge of your seat racing excitement for the fans. The second segments, for all divisions, took the green with an inverted field from the finish of the first segment, which meant you knew you would be seeing drivers out of the gate wasting no time to “get r dun” on their quest for checkers number one. Tom Placey #22 Bradford VT took home the checkers for both segments making him the overall winner of opening night thunder in this division with Carl Sweet #85 East Corinth VT coming home in second, and third to Bobby Bell #24 St Johnsbury VT.
In the Journal Opinion Fast Fours it would be all Andy Johnson #12 Wilder VT as he too would claim the checkers in both of the segments. Following Johnson to victory lane would be Kevin Harran #57 ST Johnsbury VT and Ryan Dutton #21 Bradford VT.
For the A Notch Above Limited Late Models Danny Eastman #8 Thetford Center VT was not about to let the little guys take home all the glory with double wins, as he too would claim both the segment checkers for this division. The fans would see TC Forward #14 coming home in second with Frank Thurston #16 claiming the final victory lane spot.
In the Wells River Chevrolet Sportsman Coupes Josh Harrington #71 Topsham VT was heard telling his crew that he had never won opening night or the Memorial day weekend events, and with his win of segment one last week, he knew he was sitting in the spot where he could break that record. Segment two would not be his, but his second place finish would give him the overall points lead to claim the checkers for the combined events. Doug Titus #1 Bradford VT another veteran returning to the Ridge used his memory of the track to get him to second for the overall, with Billy Simmons #16 Bradford VT in his rookie year in the coupes coming home in third.
The BOND Auto Parts Sportsman Modifieds had a full plate on their hands for the night with both make up segments needing to be completed, plus the regular night’s events to be run. The big boys would not be daunted by this feat and quickly set the stage for edge of your seat racing that keeps going and going and going. Chris Donnelly #17 Orford NH came home the victor for this overall event with Mike Capra #19 Alstead VT in second and Dan Douville #6 Bridgewater NH making a special trip to the Ridge taking home the third place spot.
The P&C Hornet Queens would be the final division to run for the KDD NAPA of Bradford opening night Thunder and when the checkers waved your top three across the line would be Misty Bell#19 St Johnsbury VT crowned your first winner, with Eileen Hemway #32 Piermont NH in second and Brenda Atherton #77 Fairlee VT in third.
Up next Elvis (impersonated by Barry Seaver) entertained the fans and then it was Fireworks in the sky courtesy of NOISE “R” US Fireworks Newport NH. Car show winners were also recognized in victory lane with plaques presented to the top three in each division. Then it was on to the regular scheduled racing for the night sponsored by Wicked Racing Products and Snap-on Tools, Evan Kingsbury Franchisee.
In the KDD NAPA Ridge Runner Hornets the championship contenders are quickly making their mark as the cars to beat in 2009 with two of the opening night top three finishers making their way back to victory lane. Bobby Lee Bell #24 St Johnsbury VT would be the big victor going from 3rd for week one to feature winner Wicked Racing Snap-on Tools night. Following him in second was Tom Placey #22 Bradford VT, third would be filled by a different driver,Karl Sheldon #19 St Johnsbury VT claiming the honors.
It is beginning to look like the four cylinder divisions are in competition with each other as here too in the Journal Opinion Fast Fours your opening night winner would make it back to victory lane in the same spot, but with two new faces to accompany him. Josh Sunn #11 White River VT made the trek up to play in the dirt and made it all the way to first claiming the checkers, with Andy Johnson #12 Wilder VT coming home in second and Mitch Durkee #4 Sharon VT claiming the third and final victory lane spot.
The A Notch Above Limited Late Models also had a moment of déjà vou as Danny Eastman #8 Thetford Center VT continues to set the bar high for this division claiming his second win of the season. TC Forward #14 will surely be setting his quest as that of concurring not only the Ridge but Eastman as well, as he once again came home the bridesmaid for this event. Taking the final victory lane spot would be Jeremy Hodge #17.
In the Wells River Chevrolet Sportsman Coupes Josh Harrington #71 Topsham VT will not be able to say he has never won opening night or the Memorial Day weekend events ever again, as tonight he claimed both of those victories with his win in the Wicked Racing Snap-on Tools feature. Billy Simmons #16 Bradford VT continues to impress with his second place finish and third would go to the car Harrington owns driven by another rookie Jason Horniak #3 Bradford VT.
The BOND Auto Parts Sportsman Modifieds saw a bit more scrambling for the top spots with only one of the three drivers claiming a place twice in one night. Wayne Stearns #1d Thetford Center VT had the car to beat and would survive several cautions to come home the victor. Following him in second was last year’s track champion Gary Siemons #5 Orford NH and third would go to Chris Donnelly #17 Orford NH the night’s sponsor and make up features overall winner.

Opening Night Thunder May 16th
Bear Ridge Speedway opened its doors on the 42nd consecutive racing season with the full card of the 99ROCK weekly racing series on hand to take the green.
Double features and double points (for registered 2009 Bear Ridge Speedway drivers) were the theme of the night, which led for some great racing excitement right out of the gate.
The KDD NAPA Ridge Runner Hornets would be the first to take the green with a full field of cars to go the twenty laps. Craziness erupted in turn four but all straightened out for some great racing excitement during the event. When the checkers waved on segment one it would be Tom Placey taking them home.
In the Wells River Chevrolet Sportsman Coupes Josh Harrington, behind the wheel of the Adam Florentine machine would be the man to beat for segment one, and he made sure no one would be able to take away the checkers of segment one from him.
The return of the A Notch Above Limited Late Models would see Danny Eastman the dominate machine as he took home the first checkers in style in segment one.
In the Journal Opinion Fast Fours another returning familiar face would be Andy Johnson, who quickly reminded everyone that he still knows his way around the track. When the checkers waved on segment one for the Fast Fours Johnson would be the one to claim them.
With the stands full and a full field of BOND Auto Parts Sportsman Modifieds ready to take the green, the anticipation was building to see who would claim the first checkers in this division for 2009. Unfortunately Mother Nature scores her first partial win, as rain set in for the night, and never let up.
The remaining show was called due to weather, and is scheduled to take place this Saturday May 23rd before the Wicked Racing Products/Snap-on Tools night begins.
Up first will be the Modifieds with their first make up session, then the other 5 make up features, and then we will kick of the regular scheduled event for the night. In addition to all this the Queens are scheduled for their first event. Elvis will be returning and Fireworks courtesy of Noise-R-Us fireworks are scheduled for the night.
Last week’s ticket stubs will be honored so be sure to bring them in.Special admission for this overloaded event at the Ridge will be for: adults (ages 17 to 61) $12.00 a person, $10.00 for teens 12 to 16 and seniors 62 and older, children 11 and under $2.00.
