I have my calendar marked for Modified Madness and the Boston Louie Seymour Classic every racing season and truly think it's one of the best events in New England. $10,000 to win for the asphalt pounders brings in the top race teams from the east coast and the NEMA event from the entire country. I truly enjoy the photo-op in the pits, conversation interview hospitality by everyone you meet as long as you give them their space preparing for their event and on the track where the heats are fierce and the pressure of making the show or going home is in the race fuel and rubber racing fan addictive fumes in the air. The NEMA Lites went a 50 lap distance feature, up from the 29 laps for David Steele's race car number to the delight of the late arriving crowds that filled the bleachers and standing area for the first feature as the hot sun subsided and the changing of the tide ocean breeze cooled us off.
 The guest NEMA driver tonight was and old friend Kenny Schrader who gave me one of my first driver interviews at Loudon, NH back in the early 90's. Schrader's last visit to the Konk was in 1991, which resulted in a victory.  Definition of a "Class Act", and encouraged me to stay with it back then and said that NASCAR was well aware of all I try to do to promote our sport on the worldwide internet Race Chatter Racing Radio Program for the last 8 years. This meant a lot to me and makes it all worth while promoting short track racing and it's great participants. Schrader has raced every type of race car in his stellar career with NO enemies that this scribe is aware of. He told me in our interview that I was correct about driving a race car in all 48 States except Rhode Island and Hawaii.
 I told him about the Ed Marceau barnyard in Chepachet, RI and his eye's lit up like a Christmas tree. I  then suggested that Carl Fredrickson and his Speedway magazine to start a GO FUND me page to send you to the big ISLAND  racing pineapple
