Not Bud Light ! Nema Lights at Monadnock Speedway, Winchester, NH

Well it was78 degrees, light breeze and very fast race cars. The NEMA Lights Midgets winged race cars put on a spectacular racing card to complement the full size NEMA Midget race cars.
 Qualifying was competitive and a very fan friendly group of owners and drivers to talk to in the pit area. The NEMA Lights Midgets operate a 15 race schedule through out the North East on all size race tracks. If you get a chance to attend a event, do it. Very Entertaining with a lot of passing low and high. The next race is June 28,2014 at the Twin State Speedway in Claremont, NH
 Six divisions of a edge of you're seat racing in New Hampshire.
 In his heat race P.J Stergios hit a bump and made contact with another racer and ended up with a broken front shock and a hard hit on the front end. The crew dug in and changed the broken shock and checked previous set ups and said let's do it.
 Team Bigelow #32 came in to the event a heavy favorite with 4 consecutive wins and had to settle for a hard fought third place on this fast dropping cooling off night. I think the way the midgets were handling was from the 25 degree temperature drop since the heats and pageantry.
 Kevin Hutchings started back in the field in the 6 spot and was screaming towards the front and about the 6 or 7th lap took over the lead. He held on to the point until about lap 15 when it seemed the #11 Stergios got his tires to the heat up to run fast and did #11 P.J.Stergios put it to hammer.
 A couple of cautions and re-starts mixed the running order and now the great race was up for grabs.
 Stergios almost broke his right foot through the floor and did not matter who was ahead because he was on a mission to snap the 4 race winning streak of Bigelow. He screamed past #29 Ryan Krachun and #27 Kevin Hutchings to regain the lead and you could take this one to the bank.
 I liked that in all 7 divisions tonight the track has all the top three race cars and drivers in victory lane for them and the supportive race fans and a live individual interview and photos for all the top three teams. This facility operates a very nice organized Race Card and is very Fan Family Friendly.
 Add this one to you're to visit list in the remaining short track racing season in beautiful Winchester,New Hampshire
