And Now, for Something Completely Different.

I said I was going to get this out on Thursday, but an early Friday morning post must be a lot better. As most of you know, last Saturday was the first Whelen Modified Tour/K&N Pro Series race at Lime Rock Park. I was there and took a few photos and videos for you. First up, here's the video in three parts.







And for the pictures, here are a few of them for the time being. All of them can be found on my Webshots account.

The event will be seen on Speed channel on the 24th of July. (Of course, this will be edited if I forgot the date and it's wrong.)

A Post of Practices, Swap Meets, and National TV

+ There are events coming up! The 2010 season at Stafford is right around the corner. In fact, the first event is in a couple of weeks. On March 28, the spring version of the motorcycle swap meet will kick off the calendar of events. And then the second swap meet (Ty-Rods auto) will be on March 11.

+ The first actual racing event will take place on April 17, as practice for the Spring Sizzler kicks into gear. This is a closed practice; only the paddock area will be open. Five straight hours of practice from 1-6pm EST. In the event of rain, the practice will be held on April 18.

+ And then the weekend after the closed practice is the big weekend. It's the 39th annual Tech-Net Spring Sizzler! The Whelen Modified Tour will be running a 200-lap main event, and Stafford's five weekly divisions will also be on hand. There's a schedule, but it's still bare bones. April 23 (Friday) is an open practice. If you're in the Stafford area and are looking to get a preview of what everyone's paint schemes are or who made a move up to a new division, you can head to the track on that day and check it out. General admission grandstands will be open as usual, and you don't have to pay a cent to check it out.

+ In other news, it looks like the Whelen Modified Tour's getting some television exposure. Welcome Versus (nine races, partnered up with the WSMT; those with DirecTV may still be in the dark) and Speed (five races). Speed's coverage will be tape delayed and aired as a one-hour show. Air dates and races for those planning to watch on Versus haven't been finalized yet.
