WICKED PISSA’ WEEKEND AT WACHUSETT

80 entries showed up for the New England Dirt Track Series event July 31st to remember Alex Lyskawa. Alex started racing at Wachusett as a young boy and switched to road racing, where he continued his winning ways. An unfortunate racing accident ended his career. His memory lives on through his family, friends and fellow racers. In honor of his memory $350 was collected toward a plaque at The Daytona Monument in Daytona Fla.

Despite the dry weather all week, the dedication of the track crew made for the best track in a couple years. A little bit of calcium and hard work by Craig Starzynski, Roger Savard, Jack Elliott, and grader man “Wild” Bill Wilkes made for a lot of passing and close action.

The best races of the night were between 2 young lions, Jamison Minor and Brad Marble, where they raced handlebar to handlebar in 5 classes. Brad won three 1st place finishes, open AM, amateur TT and sportsman. Jamison took 1st in 250 AM and amateur grand prix. These two riders had the crowd on their feet cheering after each race.

Not to be outdone the 85 and 125 class are 2 more barn burning classes; which when they line up it’s anyone’s game. The 85 class had C.J. “Mad Man” McAdams taking the win over Samantha Slingerland with “Speedy” Harlan Hildebrand in 3rd. In the 125 class the roles reversed with Harlan 1st, Samantha 2nd and C.J. 3rd.

The 100 to 160 four stroke class with youth and adult combined is gaining more popularity all the time. The 10 year olds are out on the track dicing wheel to wheel with their 50 year old idols and everyone leaves the track smiling. “Raging” Ricky Morage too k the win over Cody “Rattlesnake” Cormier and Don Prevost from Columbia MO taking 3rd.

We ran a new class called ‘Born to be Wild’. The requirements are you have to be at least 58 years of age. For the 1st race we had 5 riders signed up on bikes ranging from 125 Yamaha to a 600 Rotax. Joe Picardi was the cream of the crop, beating 2nd place Don Prevost with Dave Austyn in 3rd. The remaining races at WVR will have this popular class.

A big thank you to Paula Brisbois for taking over 200 dollars on the 50/50 raffle. 102 dollars raised goes towards the year end trophies. Successful races could not be accomplished without the dedicated help of Tina and Richard Perault on the starting line, Tom and Jason Hopkinson in the corners, Connie, Jane and Julie running the paper work and Mike Tinker who volunteered for the thankless job of pit steward.

There are 4 events left for the year, WVR so mark it on your calendar and make sure that you do not miss all of the action.

It has been a tough week, with sadness I hate to inform you we have lost 3 great people. While email is not the most personal way for this kind of news we feel it is important everyone knows.

Steve Poole passed away in his sleep Friday morning while working on the oil spill in Florida. Steve and I spoke at length the day of the Brockton Race and the next morning. His boss had given a bunch of the foreman there first day off is 80 something days, and treated them to the Jimmy Buffett Concert. Steve was very excited about the concert and also doing his part on the oil spill. Steve was a dedicated worker, and his years of training was being put to good use, he was in his element. I first met Steve and his close friends when Sideways Promotions teamed up with the United Bikers of Maine to do a 2 day race at the Bangor half mile. As with everything they did, it was a first class operation, and everything was well planned out. All of our correspondence at that point had been over the phone and emails with the UBM. George O’Neal and I drove into the fairgrounds and pulled up in time to see this big burly guy driving the water tanker stop in turn one to grab a beer. About that time I was just getting out of the van and saw the truck stop with the pump wide open dumping water all over turn one. I proceeded to let him know in no uncertain terms that crap like that was unacceptable. He probably should have choked me but in Steve’s way he told me it would not happen again and calmed me right down. That was a start of a long friendship and he was my go to guy, who I could count on to get things done. I wanted a 10,000 gallon water tanker and truck he made it happen. I needed to round up 600 hay bales in 3 day, Steve got it done. No matter what, trucks, tractors, dirt or rounding up qualified help he never let me down. I have many great memories of Steve and his family and he will be sorely missed. Complete funeral arrangements will be posted tomorrow.

Bob Coolbeth, Morgan’s dad and Kenny’s uncle passed away last week. When Sideways first started Bob, Justin and Morgan supported every race we had. Bob’s motorhome hated the ride to Canaan and always seemed to vapor lock in line at the pit gate. Everyone would pitch in to work on it, or we would end up towing it in to the pits. Bob loved racing, and loved helping other people. We all meet a lot of great people racing but there was something about Bob that just made him fun to be around. Maybe it was the miller lite we both drank and shared at many races watching all the Coolbeths. They spent many years supporting Sideways at races all over New England. We were down to Williams Grove PA, and Kenny was running 3rd in the National, his best spot at that time in his young career. We were all sitting up on turn three and Bob was so excited, it wasn’t until after the race that he realized he drank 24 beers in the 25 lap race! The Coolbeths have always been a close knit dedicated racing family and we are proud to been able to be a part of it.

Red LaBrie passed away last week at the age of 67 of emphysema. Red goes back to Bryar Motorsport park days, he owned Concord Honda and was the pit steward at the Sat. night races. He did not let you out one at a time and in order, there were 5 gates and he had a rope that he would fling across to let you onto the track in a mad dash. He loved motorcycles and motorcycle racing. At the end of the season he would bring bushels of corn for everyone to enjoy at the year end party. Red and his wife Gladys would travel all over the northeast, wherever there was a National. He had a large loving family, with several kids that raced. Concord Honda sponsored several riders, and even promoted some indoor concrete races in Concord NH with great success.

God Speed, Steve, Bob and Red, New England flat track will not be the same without you.

Brockton Fair Races July 11, 2010

Every race Sideways does is always an event, but racing during the fair
brings it to a whole new level. The sights, sounds and smells of the
carnival mixed in with race gas is just wicked cool. For the past few years
the Brockton Fairgrounds has booked us in. Twenty bucks a carload gets you
into the fair and allows you to watch the races for one price. Every year
the track is different depending on what events they have going on. Bobby
and his crew were able to give us a decent size track that held up very well
despite the weather. Hot, sunny and windy is a promoter's nightmare. The
combination just sucks the moisture out of the dirt forcing more stops for
track maintenance. Our 1:00pm start was delayed until 3:00pm due to the
ambulance showing up late, but once we started racing the action was hot and
heavy! Pictures at www.firstplacephoto.com <http://www.firstplacephoto.com/>

75 entries of motorcycles and quads made for 3 hours of non-stop action. Two new events added to the program were the Amt. Grand Prix and the "Dash for
Dave". For the Grand Prix we took 2 125's, 2 250's and 2 Open Amateur's for
a 5 lap sprint and staggered start for each size bike. Harlan Hildebrand on
his 125 took the whole shot with the pack on his rear wheel. Second place
through sixth were jostling for position with some awesome handle bar to
handle bar action. The first 3 laps saw positions 2 thru 6 shuffling in an
attempt to catch Harlan. Lap 4 positions settled down with Harlan winning
followed by C.J. McAdam, Craig Hall, Josh Paydos, Samantha Slingerland.

The "Dash for Dave" was sponsored by Jane Wood, Dave B's girlfriend. She put
up $500 towards a five rider, 5 lap dash. Qualifying was determined by the top 3 in the Open Premier Class and the two winners of the Sportsman heats.
It so happens that 14 year old Harlan Hildebrand qualified for both races.
Local boy and Bettencourt rider "Asa The Racer Irish" led all 5 laps for the
win, but behind him positions shuffled every lap. On lap 2 it was 4 wide
down the front straight! Harlan Hildebrand regained 2nd place in the
process. Lap 3 Fast Freddy Berryman tangled with Steve Hall, and Freddy hit
the deck in turn 2. Final results were; Irish, Hildebrand, Hall, Brad
Marble, and Berryman. All 5 riders got a present from Jane with as framed
picture of Dave B along with some cash.

The ATVs put on one heck of a show. While some complained that the track was slick, others were wheelying down the straight-away. Nine Open-Pro ATVs were
the last race of the day. These riders, no matter what track they are on,
always put on an exciting show. Even with a track smaller than what they are
used to; there was plenty of bumping, shoving, and passing! At the checkers,
there was Brian Pierce in 1st, Corby Marini 2nd, and Eric Kreis 3rd.

I would like to thank everyone involved in making the long day a success.
The regular Sideways crew was absent due to other obligations, so several
people stepped up and did a great job filling their shoes. Mike Tinker did
an exceptional job starting the races. Julie Starzynski, Ashley McKenna, and
her friend played an important role in scoring the races. New comer, Don Capri along with the ex racing family of Walter, Joey, and Andy Reddington
volunteered for the thankless job of pit stewards. We did have the support
of Connie Giammalvo, corner flagmen; Tom and Jason Hopkinson; and announcer
Zeke "Bucky Thunder" from the booth.

Racing at The Brockton Fairgrounds is always a blast, but during the fair it
adds a whole new dimension to the event. With the talk of casinos and slots
coming to MA, the fairground is caught in limbo as to what they can do in
the future. We tentatively have an event scheduled for Oct.10th. Please
continue to check the website for updates.

The New England Dirt Track Series round 6 rolled into Wachusett Valley Riders Club on a hot steamy day, June 19th. Since the Coolbeth School in May the track has seen major improvements. Thanks to Rick Marshal from Crow Hill MX, he lent us his spare grater and Bill Wilks fine tuned the track. A few club members have spent considerable time mowing, weed whacking and days watering the track. The hard work of these volunteers produced the best surface in a couple of years. Track electricians Bryan and Bernie McKenna added two new lights to the back straight and are planning more upgrades to the electrics. I wanted to thank everyone involved for their help.

Even with a slightly smaller turnout the racing was phenomenal! Sam “The Shredder” Slingerland continued her winning ways by taking 1st in the 125 class and making the podium in the 85 and 250AM. Mark Methe and Joe Picardi were wheel to wheel in the dino calss. At one point Joe did lead half a lap, but Mark’s inside line got him back in the lead for the win. The amateur TT was a dog fight from start to finish between “Bad” Brad Marble and Jamison Minor. Jamison was pushing and shoving coming into the infield section without success. He did pull even coming out of the right hander and over the jump. Despite Jamison’s repeated attempts, Brad rode smooth and smart for an impressive win.

POSTED JUNE 13

Mother Nature was the only winner Saturday. I headed up Friday morning to prepare for Saturday's race. Myself and the track owner had been watching the weather channel all week. Heavy rain Friday night left the track very wet but we knew with a little sunshine we would be in great shape for 4:30 practice. At noon time there was a light drizzle happening and the weather forecast were all over the place. The Rochester 1/2 mile is a stone dust surface that can take all kinds of water. Big Daddy's is a fine clay that turns to mud without a lot of rain. Our first concern is for the safety of the riders due to track conditions. Even a light mist on a clay track with motorcycles can spell disaster. Myself and the track owner made a decision about 1:00 to cancel. Being that Rumney is in a dead cell phone area, getting the word out took awhile. I immediately put the update on my answering machine, called some local radio stations, rally headquarters and eventually it was posted on Big Daddy's website. Seeing as my crew was enroute no one was available to change my website. I apologize for anyone's inconvenience. We cancelled not because of lack of riders, they come regardless. We cancelled because of a questionable race track, no sun to dry the track and all the forecasts called for some form of precipitation during the night. We take a lot of pride in being a part of Laconia Motorcycle and Race Week since 1974 as a fan and 20 years as a race promoter. With the conditions we were given there was no way to put on the level of show Sideways Promotions and the riders usually do for you spectators. We are known to get a race done in conditions other promoters would have given up on. It is a painstaking decision to make but Mother Nature has the final say.
Sunday night at Jolly Roger Moto Sport Park Rt. 10 E. Lempster, N.H. despite drizzle and threaten clouds in the morning bikes hit the track at 4:15 in the afternoon for practice! Due to the track crews’ persistence the high banks oval was in perfect shape. The heats and features went off perfectly with no delays with the races ending at 8:15. Since Marco has his own race crew I was able to spend some time talking to the spectators that rode in on their bikes. The feedback and conversations were interesting and informative. A group of sport bike riders from Quebec and several N.H. residents who had never been to Jolly's brought friends from all over the U.S. to view the races for the first time. I had some people that were bummed about Saturday night drive all the way from North Conway, N.H. to Jolly Roger's for Sunday, which is a long ways over back roads. Everyone was very appreciative of the races and said they would be back.
The interaction and support of these people is what keeps Laconia going. They all had a common theme and that is they want to ride to more events and destinations. Even though Friday and Saturday was nerve racking Sunday finished on a high note. As the spectators were leaving, beers were being cracked, M80 firecrackers were being tossed and blue sky was poking through the clouds! Thank you for your support and see you next year.

New Track added to Laconia MC Week Dirt Track Series

Big Daddy’s Speed Bowl on rt 25 in Rumney NH is excited to be kicking off 2 nights of exciting motorcycle and atv flat track racing during the 87th Annual Laconia Motorcycle Rally and Race Week. Sideways Promotions last ran at Rumney, formerly known then as “The Pines Speedway” around 1999. Since
then several promoters leased the facility keeping the long history alive. Fall 2009 saw a new enthusiastic racer turned promoter come in with a bold plan. Mike “Big Daddy” Rivers has been building a brand new facility starting from the light poles inside to the far edges of the pit and spectator parking outside. Mikes commitment to his weekly dirt cars is evident by his uniting the 3 area tracks and their rules. Mike and his crew are taking that same enthusiasm and putting it into Sideways Promotions race. Pete Giammalvo, President of Sideways Promotions said, “I have been following the tracks progress. Everyone can’t wait to put a wheel on that clay banked ¼ mile”. Riders from Canada and the east coast are coming, hoping to take some New England cash home.
The racing action will be fast and furious typical handlebar to handlebar banging short track action. As of press time, New England’s own 3 time AMA National Dirt Track Champion plans to compete on his potent Bettencourt’s Honda 450. Massachusetts native Shane Narbonne will attempt to do double duty of road racing and dirt tracking if the schedules allow it. Shane is on a roll from Daytona where he had top finishes on the dirt and pavement riding for North Reading Honda. Asa Irish and Bryan McKenna are always in contention to finish on the box. These 2 south shore boys stepped up their programs over the winter so I expect good results. 19 year old Kyle Marble from Halifax Ma who finished in the top 3 in NEDTS expert last season is getting his AMA Pro license this season. Kyle’s enthusiasm and hard charging style will give the top riders some concerns. Then you got the veteran of not only New England but the northeast and also on a roll from Daytona. Dudley ma native Roger Durkee started his career of winning in Alstead NH in the late 60’s and now at age 47 is still winning championships. Roger’s latest accomplishment was winning the 40+ class in Daytona against some very fast younger riders. His ability to read a race track and find a unique fast line makes him not only a joy to watch, but always puts him up front. Roger and Kenny have dominated northeast motorcycle dirt track racing for 40 years winning many Championships. When Sideways Promotions got its start back 21 years ago at Canaan USA Speedway Roger was in his prime and Kenny was a young fast teenager who wanted to win. We are proud of these men now and of the riders before who bravely step up to chase their dream of a National Expert on The AMA Dirt Track Series. You can see these boys and a bunch of young lions with stars in their eyes and dreams of following in the champs steel shoe Saturday June 12th at Big Daddy’s Speed Bowl Rt 25 Rumney. Spectator gate opens at 4, Practice 4:30, Heats 5:30, Features 8:00. Adults $10, kids 6-12 $5, under 5 free!
Charlie and June Elliott are going to be Honorary Grand Marshalls June 12. They took Sideways Promotions under their wing 21 years ago when we started racing their track in Canaan NH Opening Ceremonies will be between 7:30 and 8.
The rolling thunder show heads 1 hour southwest to Jolly Roger Motorsports located on rt 10 in East Lempster NH for Sunday June 13. Jolly as it’s affectionally called, is a high banked 1/5th mile oval nestled in a hollow between a mountain and The Rooster Tails Grille. The seating is awesome from many vantage points and free camping is always allowed. Jolly starts with a mx at 10 am and flat track practice is 5, races as six. Adult tickets are $10 with a child discount.
Please contact us for more information.
You can get a racing membership or more information by contacting:
Peter Giammalvo at 1-978-874-1732 or e-mail peterg11@verizon.net

SCHEDULE CHANGE: The Coolbeth School has been changed from May 15-16 to May 22-23. The NEDTS race at Jollys has been moved to May 29. We will reset the youth school date. July 11 date for Brockton Fair is official. We have from 12-6 in the afternoon. Saturday June 12 is at Big Daddy’s Speedbowl in Rumney NH the first week of Laconia. I’m beating the bushes for a pro purse. $100 gets you 2 pit passes and your name in the program. A good turnout of spectators will be a big asset to having a Rochester ½ mile in 2011. I’ll have posters the end of April and it’s important to cover New England, especially an hour radius from Rumney

POSTED FEB 18:
Dave B’s Daytona plaque donations are$200 away from our goal! There is still time to get your name on the donor’s certificate. We are not asking for any large amounts, $10 will work. Please make checks payable to Connie Giammalvo. Send to Connie Giammalvo, 95 Sargent Rd. Westminster Ma 01473. While the original plan was to have everything in place this March, we ran into a problem with one of the pictures. Transferring from picture to granite it lost the clarity. Since December when pictures were chosen, some better ones were found. So while there is still an official Daytona 200 ceremony Wednesday March 3 @ 11 it will not have Davids plaques. We’ll regroup and plan a bigger one for 2011.

The WVR meeting scheduled for Thursday night Feb 18 has been cancelled, March 25 will be next one at Mason’s Hall in Winchendon 7:pm

The status of the ice races for the 2010 season is up in the air at this point. We submitted the contract to the club in November, unfortunately they waited until after their meeting to let us know that they wanted to increase their rental fee 20% along with a few other changes. I requested a meeting with them ASAP and got the response that they couldn’t meet with me until December 30th. Now without a contract we weren’t able to get any fencing in the ground before it froze, so that could be a big issue. Should we be able to finalize a contract with the Club tomorrow night, the ability to get the insurance for the event becomes difficult with the holiday & short notice. Our insurer charges extra if the event is less than a week away.
The first race scheduled for this weekend is cancelled due to the above issues regardless of the ice conditions. Rest assured we are actively looking at other options so that we can get some racing in this year. After meeting with the club I will get an update up on the website, if not an email update.

Happy New Years to Everyone….

Hey everyone I hope you all had a good Christmas and have good plans for New Years. If you’ve read the first email I sent you can see that we are having some difficulties with the club this year. The biggest issue is that they want to increase the rental and security deposit 20%. I really don’t understand the mentality of increasing costs to cover declining revenue in these economic times. As a business that needs to remain competitive and viable we need to cut our costs and our customers wouldn’t tolerate price increases. They also want a few other changes like another days notification of cancellations and a quicker cleanup after the races. I think there are a few misunderstandings on their part that need correction – as we had all of the fencing down two weeks after the last scheduled race while there was still some snow on the ground and ice on the pond. There was a complaint that I’m aware of a week after we took down the fencing that the fencing was in the way of the fly fishermen. Phantom fencing I guess? Having been a club member for over 20 years I thought that maybe they would’ve either requested my presence at the meeting where the decided to change the contract or at least called me so the I could’ve come down – I live less than 10 minutes away and at least three members of the BOD know this.
I had expected to have everything completed before Thanksgiving, but this has thrown us completely off. I’ll keep you all posted. I’m interested in other locations to put on the races, so if anyone has any ideas or contacts. This SUCKS!

Masons lodge Wednesday Dec 16 at 7
The lodge is on rt 12 heading north out of Winchendon. It’s after the American legion and before wheels in motion on the same side

The last meeting 13 people showed up and while I didn’t cover everything some good came out of it. What I’m going to talk about is mainly WVR and Sideways end of business. I need to get this off my chest, it’s not directed at any single person. The season was going decent till Brockton’s rainout and then wvr’s rain/rescheduled dirt track jam and enduro cross. Those 3 events lost money basically got me scrambling for money. I decided to smile through the banquet as that is the celebration of everyone’s dedication and success. I stressed the week before the banquet because so many people missed the deadline. When I emailed that I only had 102 replies, 18 were sideways help! With many calls, emails we got 150 people. Why should I have to do that? There are 2 rules about promoting. It’s should be fun and it should be profitable, if it isn’t why are you doing it?

I seriously thought about selling wvr or turning it into a mx practice track in the fall. Promoting is what I do, dirt track is my favorite. For 2010 I decided to give it hell, chase sponsors and setup a race schedule. Things have to change though. I’ve heard it all, we are all busier, the economy sucks, etc. I’m going to build wvr workdays into the schedule so people can plan it in. I’m going to make an updated list so people can pick a project. 20 members in 1 day can do a lot of work. WVR really needs a sprucing up, it’s our place to show it off! With a little bit of work we’ll be proud when riders come from other districts. Rt 12 is also a main road into Winchendon, together we can make a nice first impression. I’m trying hard to unite everyone and add excitement to our program, well 2010 is the year! We need to look forward and plan. We are always trying to recruit new track officials. We need a backup announcer, starter and score people. Someday Tina and Dick won’t be able to make it and then where are we?

Many of you take flyers to pass out which is great. If everyone put up only 4 or 5 flyers central new England would be covered. Collectively a slight effort by everyone adds up to a huge amount. 100 adult’s extra thru wvr or jolly’s each race is huge to the bottom line. I’m open to suggestions/constructive criticism, and everyone’s feedback. WVR was created to be able to practice and perfect dirt tracking, our sport. The track was carved out a woodlot by a group of members like yourself, some who are still involved. While better clay is my holy grail search, widening the track has improved the racing immensely. Landscaping and painting will be the agenda in the spring.
To get to the spring I’m working with the off road riders about a winter enduro cross series. 3 races, January, February and March after Daytona. We left the infield enduro track which they’ll ride through the snow so all we have to do is plow the parking lots. The most pressing issue right now is money. The insurance signup fees and first race payment total about $1500. We are on a $200 a month payment plan to the town for back taxes plus the monthly mortgage payment. The lost revenue in the fall really is showing up now. Everyone can help by paying their $40 NEDTS 2010 membership now. The $100 wvr practice membership is welcome anytime. Back when the town shut us down we came up with a Life Membership for wvr. $500 gets a life membership. After 5 years you pay only practice day fee. I believe we have about 20-25 life members. Also remember the banquet program had Christmas/birthday pre-entry gift certificates. I’m asking for your support to get thru December and January till we go racing. Money will be accepted now and I’ll mail form after. Schedules will be mailed end of january

At December’s meeting we’ll decide about meetings in winter. Meetings will have a 50/50 raffle plus 1 free entry as incentive to come. I have a couple ideas about the kart program to improve it. I’ll give you a prepped track from 3 to 4:30, you drivers arrange for an emt and staff to run whatever laps/ races you want between that time. We’ll water the track as needed. I also want to run a couple 4 wheel Fridays with karts and slingshots during the summer. We talked about a clone (stock Chinese motor) class for kids and adults plus the 2 classes we run now. I’m looking into either an arena cross or super cross race at the end of the season. We’ll haul in new clay to build a track, run a race or 2 then build another endurocross track for the winter if this one works out.

LOOKING FOR. A 20’ construction trailer with a garage door in the back to rent for the winter series

Take 20! – FMF Helping Riders Through Tough Times
FMF Racing announces a never before seen promotion to give back to our fellow riders who have made us number one. I started FMF back in 1973 because I loved riding motorcycles. Delivering the highest level of performance and quality is what drives us. What this means is you the consumer can walk into your local dealership slash the retail price of all FMF 4-stroke exhaust by 20%. Whether it’s a dirt bike, quad, sport bike, side by side and regardless of year, even 2010 – ALL 4-stroke exhaust are 20% off.

FMF is like no other exhaust manufacturer. Located in the So.Cal. hotbed of motocross, FMF has nearly vertical manufacturing – everything is made 100% in-house utilizing American made material. This puts FMF in the unique position to control production cost and oversee quality without relying on third party vendors or outsourcing. By doing it all ourselves, we can take this unique opportunity to offer a retail incentive at a time when every rider could use it most.

Here’s how the TAKE 20 Program works:
- Take 20% off the retail price of all FMF 4-stroke exhaust.
- The program starts November 15, 2009 and ends March 31, 2010.

Examples:
- Full Titanium 4.1 Megabomb System Retail $849.99. Take 20% $679.99!
- Powercore 4 with Stainless Powerbomb System Retail $499.99. Take 20% $399.99!

That’s it! No coupons or mail-in rebates. You walk into your local dealer and walk out with one of the top aftermarket performance exhausts made – at 20% off.

Saturday Nov 28 2pm at The Carriage House rt 12 Winchendon MA. The carriage house is ¼ mile north of the intersection of rt 140 & 12 near the track. I want input on race dates and have some ideas on improving the kart program I want to run by everyone. I want to come up with realistic project list and plan to make it happen. We together have built a pretty decent short track and tt. As racers and club members we need to pull together to strengthen not only Wvr but Sideways Promotions and the NEDTS

WVR FALL CLEANUP SUNDAY NOV 22 AT 10AM - BRING CHAINSAWS TO TRIM TREES AND RECHARGABLE DRILLS WITH SOCKETS SETUPS TO BREAK APART THE TRAILER OF BIKES TO SCRAP.

We had 39 entries in 6 classes, even with spectators it didn't come close to paying the bills. As for more logs, less mud. We were cutting trees Saturday to fill in spots! We talked about firing the sprinkler system up during the Pro's for a little man made "rain" I joked around earlier about a "Tucky hole. Thank you to Jeff and Eric Wood for their input during the week and everyone's "rock garden" adjustments Sunday after practice. I want to thank everyone for working together the first race. A lot of great people and suggestions.
So where do we go from here? It was brought to my attention about a winter series, one race a month jan, feb and march after Daytona? I will need time to rework my dirt track and TT back into shape. This week We are going to regrade everything filling ruts and repacking ramps, jumps etc. WVR is 26 acres and we have a 1/2 mile single track trail through woods we could incorporate with the arena.

Fall Happenings

Sunday September 27th is the Brockton Fall Brawl featuring motorcycle and ATV short track and TT. The fairgrounds is enthusiastically working with us to make a larger short track with good clay. While the fairgrounds costs more than a regular race, once we have a permanent track and surface bigger events will follow. Please work with us this year to make the 27th a success to jump start next season. Jolly Roger’s last race is Saturday October 3rd. October 4th there will be a non-points race at Rattlesnake Motor Drome in Rumney N.H. We raced at Rumney years ago and since then the track was totally rebuilt and this summer a new owner has taken it over. The track surface is good and the size is perfect for our racing. I hope a good amount of riders support this so we all can get a feel for being involved as a points events in 2010. October 9th is a Sling Shots/Karts race at WVR. Sling Shots are small dirt modifieds with 40hp v twin briggs motors. The last April Friday night show proved it might be worth while to run once a month. October 10th is WVR and NEDTS last points event of 2009. The race at WVR will run double points just to spice things up. October 11th is our fall club cook-out at WVR, everyone is invited to eat and ride. Non members are $5.00. October 17th is the “Souls of the Damned Dirt Track Jam”, the big one! Youth classes, One Amt, One Expert, Vintage and Old Farts classes in short track and TT. Trying to raise some money for the expert classes over and above the 100% payback. I am also talking to several AMA Expert riders about showing up. Daytime swap meet/vintage bike and rider display. I am working on some past N.E. champions to participate. The racing will start around 4 or 5 and will see the return of “The Queen of Dirt 2009”. The rules are simple, 160cc max. air-cooled 4-strokes with the King and his court crowning QoD 2009. The adult stupidity will continue with Bucky Thunder jumping something in his monster truck. Cannons and Thunder Clownz will round out the evening. Don’t forget $100 for the best costume chosen during the Horribles Parade. October 31st. WVR is branching out into the enduro cross competition. We are going to haul in several new truck loads of clay and then make the nastiest hare scrambles course inside the arena. Rocks, logs, loader tires and a real mud hole, no namby pamby birdbath, but a real bike swallowing ‘tucky hole as in Winchentucky. Practice starts at 4 and the races at 6. Classes are 160 and smaller air-cooled. Novice, amt. exp. and pro are run what ya brung cc. Cool first place trophies, money for amt, exp and pro plus a trophy for the pro winner guaranteed your significant other won’t let you put it in your living room! Who will be the King of Toy Town? November 1st at WVR is an ATV Rodeo on the same course. Several classes of utility quads dukin’ it out in this first time event. A weighted transfer sled will be setup in another area for more competition. These two events will run regardless of weather which will give the winners definite bragging rights for a year.

I am trying to schedule the awards banquet for early November. Hopefully the weather isn’t too bad and everyone can play on the track Sunday after the banquet.

Wachusett has seen a huge ton of improvements this year thanks to a bunch of people. The downside is that some very important projects and vehicle maintenance has got put off. The end of the season is crazy busy, but I would like to find a day where ten to twelve people minimum can commit to a work day before everything freezes up. This would give us a huge jumpstart for next spring.

On a political note. Vice President Joe Biden was quoted as saying, “The stimulus package has exceeded our expectations”. Unemployment is up, Foreclosure’s are up, WTF! Our federal government doesn’t set very high standards. All Federal employees where supposed to get a 2.4 percent raise but Obama lowered it to 2 percent even. On a state level OUR MA senators and representatives got their $3200 to $35,000 automatic raises. American people are taking pay cuts to keep their jobs and our elected officials just don’t get it! This goes for both sides of the aisle. There aare a small handful of elected officials working for the people. My suggestion is keep the honest ones and vote the rest out. Let’s end the good ole boy cycle and start fresh, this countries survival depends on it!

2009 Aaron Creamer Memorial Short Track to Benefit Winchendon Youth Recreation Sat Aug 15

I met Aaron Creamer and his family in 1988. It was about a year after my diving accident which paralyzed me from the chest down. I had raced motorcycles for 14 years and cars for 5 before my accident plus back in the late 70’s I promoted ice races for the city of Gardner’s Winter Carnival. I was meeting with the family to work on bringing motorcycle dirt track back to New England. The old Bryar Motorsport Park in Loudon was sold and New Hampshire International Speedway was being built. Our only race track in New England was now a parking lot. The Creamer family along with many others now had to travel to either Schnectady or Binghampton N.Y. to race.
A track was located in Canaan N.H. and a 3 race deal was struck. While not financially successful it was emotionally a success for everyone. Dirt track was back in New England! Sideways Promotions and The New England Dirt Track Series was started in 1989. At that time, Aaron was riding 60’s and 80’s. The 2 families formed a bond that continues to this day. We spent countless hours together over the years working on bikes, traveling to races, practicing at Wachusett Valley. During those years as Aaron went from a child to a boy to a man, all he ever wanted to do was be a Professional Racer. Not a guy who had a part time job and raced but a full time Pro. He accomplished his goal in 03. Aaron was following the AMA National circuit! For awhile he traveled alone because his hectic schedule didn’t fit in with friends work. He did everything on the bike and gained the respect of a huge following from around the country. He never forgot his roots, coming home as often as he could to see friends and family. He would race locally and do riding schools for kids like he had been for years.
Aaron died Aug 8, 2004 racing in Sturgis South Dakota. His love of life, friends and family didn’t make it any easier but it was solace that he went doing what he loved. He once said, “If I die racing, I know I’ll die happy.” It’s his infectious spirit that literally affected thousands and thousands of people around the world. There are other races named in his honor. Aaron was a Leominster boy and along with many other families put a lot of sweat equity building Wachusett Valley Riders. The match of Aaron continuing to help local kids and be remembered was perfect. 2006 due to nasty weather early we only were able to donate $260. 2007 we raised $1100. The total so far including 2008 is $4095. Every dime raised either pays a bill or is donated. WVR and it’s club members do not make any profit what so ever.
There are several ways to be involved. To help offset the costs Wachusett Valley Riders Club is selling sponsorships, $25, $50 and $100 levels. $25 gets your name in the program, $50 gets you in the program and a Aaron Creamer trophy, $100 gets everything plus a banner at the races. I would love to make a $3500 donation to the youth program this year. Wachusett Valley Riders Club Rt 12, Winchendon MA. Saturday August 15, Practice 4:00, races 5:30. Adults $10, kids under 16 free after 5:30. To be a sponsor or for more info contact me call 978-874-1732 or email peterg11@verizon.net

FOR RELEASE IMMEDIATELY
SLINGSHOTS DEBUT WITH NEW ENGLAND DOUBLE HEADER AT WACHUSETTS VALLEY AND JOLLY ROGER MOTORSPORTS PARK ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, JULY 24 & 25.

Westminster, MA. This weekend Friday and Saturday, July 24 -25 will see Slingshots racing in Massachusetts and New Hampshire for the first time ever. Sideways Promotions President Pete Giammalvo has watched the popularity of these vehicles soar the last couple years. Last fall a test was held at the Wachusett Valley Riders Club 1/5th Mile in Winchendon, MA with great results.

Connecticut driver Kenny Johnson deemed WVR “very race able.” These spec cars are powered by modified and sealed v – twin Briggs & Stratton Vanguard motors. Fully suspended these vehicles look like miniature dirt Modifieds and the v twin motor has a nice muffled bark to it. The goal of Sideways Promotions is to lay the groundwork this season with a New England Series in 2010. Drivers and their families are traveling from New York and Pennsylvania for this historic weekend.

Another group making the weekend tour is the Eastern Outlaw Quarter Sprint Racing Club. They are a small racing club that races at Hillside Raceway in Westport, Ma. The Hillside club races Open Wheel Quarter Sprint race cars that are the same size as 250cc Mini Sprint cars. They have two divisions in that club, one division runs cars that are 11 hp, methanol powered, Briggs & Stratton flat-top racing engines. The other division runs 11 hp, methanol powered, Honda overhead cam racing engines.

Tickets are only $10 at each track for adults. Jolly Roger Moto-Sport Park, in E. Lempster, NH, is a little over one hour north of Winchendon Ma. Both tracks can soak up a lot of water so don’t let a little rain shower scare you away from this exciting event.

The 17th Annual Ben Campanale Laconia ½ Mile is on hold for 2009.
I did everything I could do secure sponsorship for 09 but it the end the economy won out. My faithful New England Harley-Davidson motorcycle dealers association, have been major sponsor of Sideways Promotions and New England Dirt Track Series for 15 years. Due to the economy they regretfully could not continue to support my events. I do want to thank them for their past support, it was them along with a few other dealerships that made Ben Campanale ½ mile possible. I spent 7 months working 3 different groups to put a Rochester race on for 09. Laconia Motorcycle Week will revive into a bigger event with more racing than before! I am not giving up on the race entirely, but will continue to secure sponsorship for the race in 2010. I want to thank all you fans and riders for you support in having some very successful races. It put New England on the map, showing the rest of the country just how great our program is. Another very special thing, is that I have got to know a lot of the riders in the National Circuit as good friends.
Sideways Promotions will concentrate on the short tracks, especially
4th Annual Competition Riders Dinner
This dinner has the riders that were a part of new england’s motorcycle history in it’s infancy. The men that rode their only motorcycle in all events. The stories and pictures these 80 year olds and younger are a peak back into or sport. We are looking to contact more dirt rack riders from Alstead NH and Waterford Ct (60’s to early 70’s) era and work up to the Bryar Motorsport Park Days.

Senator Kennedys non response

Dear Mr. Giammalvo:
I want you to know how much I appreciate the fact that you took the time to write to me about the Consumer Product Saftey Act.. All too often, citizens of our country choose to be part of the "silent majority," in spite of the many issues of concern to them.
It is primarily through correspondence such as yours that I am able to obtain the insights and understand the needs and priorities of my constituents and people throughout the country. I intend to do all I can to be an effective Senator in meeting the many challenges we face.
It is my hope that we will be able to make progress on issues of special concern to you and so many other Americans, and I thank you again for your letter.
Sincerely,
Edward M. Kennedy

WVR Work Party April 11. It’s a week early but we need to take advantage of the early spring.

SCHEDULE POSTED WVR & SCHEDULE PAGE

NEWSLETTER JANUARY
The ice race scheduled for Jan 3 was cancelled. We had ice but with this crazy weather it’s not very thick. We want to make sure that the ice and pit areas are sufficient to protect your screws. We are planning for Jan 10, as of Jan 6 we had over 6 inches on the pit straight and 3 on the street side. Getting to this point has been way more work than anticipated. We learned a ton and have a handle on it now. We are looking for 2” electric pumps, especially 1 high hp and pressure for the sprinkler system in the summer. The work we did on the oval last fall is really going to widen the passing zones.
I’m looking for feedback in several areas. Marco and I have the schedule 99% done, I’m waiting on a couple things. Jolly Rogers is building a TT course using the oval and infield. He will be running some strictly quad events running both tracks.
We talked about adjusting the Quad classes for 09. Mixing amateurs and experts has created unsafe situations for all. Keep in mind there is not time to add a bunch of classes. Please email me direct and then I’ll post what comes in, this should eliminate arguments among riders. peterg11@verizon.net
WVR points races. I plan to run the complete expanded kart program starting at 3:30 or 4. So that the karts have time between races I’m thinking of putting the 50cc kids classes in between. This would get the karts and 50’s done by 4:30 – 5. The karts are all running smooth dirt slicks which will pack the track in perfect.
Halloweena X5, I’m looking for suggestions on improving the show better. The stupidity level is up there but refining classes for the short track/tt program so that spectators flock to it is key. Would a Sunday be better? Just a TT?
Billboards are available for $600 for 2 years then $200 per year after, The $600 includes the price of the sign.
Friday July 24 is a kart and Slingshot race at wvr. This event is testing the waters to see how it works out. We tested a slingshot at wvr last fall with impressive results. Slingshots are a bigger than a kart with suspension and a v twin briggs motor making 40hp. They look like a miniature dirt modified. www.slingshots.com . I’m sure the entries will be less than a regular race so spectators and sponsors are key. July 25 the slingshots and quads will be racing at Jolly Rogers.
Endurocross what is it? http://promoto.tv/exfinals.html Basically a man made hare scramble in an arena with rocks, logs, water holes and other obstacles. The arena will be at wvr after the Halloweena X5. We have almost everything we need to build it. I have thrown the idea out on a couple dirt bike websites and the interest is high. I’m also talking to some people about a atv utility jamboree using the same course along with a pulling sled. After the event we’ll bring in some new clay and regrade the entire infield and track. The dirt track is and will be the main focus but as a club we need to explore our options.
Everyone has their favorite local websites. I have found some good sites that cater to off road or street enthusiasts. I am asking that everyone send me new England/new york websites. I can send my link/schedule out to them.
Race entries are going up slightly for Sideways Promotions wvr races. I have tried to stay the same but we all know everything has gone up. For comparison in 1987 Expert sign up was $25 and Amateur was $20 plus $10 pit pass. A Top level Rotax was $5000. NEDTS membership will be $35 which compared to most other racing organizations is cheap. Race entries will be $35 for the oval and $25 for the TT. WVR membership for practice will remain the same $100 for the first riding member and $25 there after with a maximum of $150 for a family. As a way for the club to get through the winter we have come up with an incentive that saves you full members and generates winter revenue. $100 members pay $180 before Feb 15 and that will cover membership AND practices for 2009. For each additional riding member it’s the usual $25 plus $80 for a total of $105. With at least 5 months of practice this is quite a savings plus Wednesdays just sign in and run, no money. For those that don’t do the incentive program WVR practice fee will be $15 for members. Non members fee is $50 for bikes/karts. This makes the track available for people traveling a long distance coming once or twice a year. The track will be prepped. For other small vehicle testing call for pricing.
Your NEDTS racing number will be held till March 1, after that numbers are not guaranteed. I announced last year that all amateurs will run yellow backgrounds with black numbers in 09. Pro’s will run white plates with black or red numbers.
I want to remind everyone that I have a for sale/wanted page on www.sidewayspromo.com You can list anything for free, if it sells a small donation to me would be nice but not mandatory.

This would get the karts and 50’s done by 4:30 – 5. The karts are all running smooth dirt slicks which will pack the track in perfect.
Halloweena X5, I’m looking for suggestions on improving the show better. The stupidity level is up there but refining classes for the short track/tt program so that spectators flock to it is key. Would a Sunday be better? Just a TT?
Billboards are available for $600 for 2 years then $200 per year after, The $600 includes the price of the sign.
Friday July 24 is a kart and Slingshot race at wvr. This event is testing the waters to see how it works out. We tested a slingshot at wvr last fall with impressive results. Slingshots are a bigger than a kart with suspension and a v twin briggs motor making 40hp. They look like a miniature dirt modified. www.slingshots.com . I’m sure the entries will be less than a regular race so spectators and sponsors are key. July 25 the slingshots and quads will be racing at Jolly Rogers.
Endurocross what is it? http://promoto.tv/exfinals.html Basically a man made hare scramble in an arena with rocks, logs, water holes and other obstacles. The arena will be at wvr after the Halloweena X5. We have almost everything we need to build it. I have thrown the idea out on a couple dirt bike websites and the interest is high. I’m also talking to some people about a atv utility Rodeo using the same course along with a pulling sled. After the event we’ll bring in some new clay and regrade the entire infield and track. The dirt track is and will be the main focus but as a club we need to explore our options.
Everyone has their favorite local websites. I have found some good sites that cater to off road or street enthusiasts. I am asking that everyone send me new England/new york websites. I can send my link/schedule out to them.
Race entries are going up slightly for Sideways Promotions wvr races. I have tried to stay the same but we all know everything has gone up. For comparison in 1987 Expert sign up was $25 and Amateur was $20 plus $10 pit pass. A Top level Rotax was $5000. NEDTS membership will be $35 which compared to most other racing organizations is cheap. Race entries will be $35 for the oval and $25 for the TT. WVR membership for practice will remain the same $100 for the first riding member and $25 there after with a maximum of $150 for a family. As a way for the club to get through the winter we have come up with an incentive that saves you full members and generates winter revenue. $100 members pay $180 before Feb 15 and that will cover membership AND practices for 2009. For each additional riding member it’s the usual $25 plus $80 for a total of $105. With at least 5 months of practice this is quite a savings plus Wednesdays just sign in and run, no money. For those that don’t do the incentive program WVR practice fee will be $15 for members. Non members fee is $50 for bikes/karts. This makes the track available for people traveling a long distance coming once or twice a year. The track will be prepped. For other small vehicle testing call for pricing.
Your NEDTS racing number will be held till March 1, after that numbers are not guaranteed. I announced last year that all amateurs will run yellow backgrounds with black numbers in 09. Pro’s will run white plates with black or red numbers.
I want to remind everyone that I have a for sale/wanted page on www.sidewayspromo.com You can list anything for free, if it sells a small donation to me would be nice but not mandatory.

JAN 8
RACES CANCELLED AT WVR TILL JAN 17
Due to more snow forecast for Saturday afternoon we have decided to plow and pump at the track Sunday now at 11:00. Anyone with a plow with skids on the bottom would be a big help. The weather forecast for next week is cold! The phone is ringing off the hook! The Framer class is getting more entries all the time.
Thursday jan 16 we are meeting at the masons lodge on rt 12 Winchendon at 6:30
Pete

Wednesday we spent 7 hour in covering turn 4 banks with white tyvek and plowing the
track. Turn 4 towards turn does not have enough ice to race on. The work
everyone did today should have rectified our sun issues. I'm very confident
for jan 17.

Hello all, Jan 7

Please check Thursday afternoon to see if we are running Jan 10. We had a leak on turn 4 infield which resulted in a small channel across the track. We are going up tomorrow to work on that and several other things. I WILL NOT race if there is a chance of hitting dirt. Thank you for your understanding!

The ice race scheduled for Jan 3 was cancelled. We had ice but with this crazy weather it’s not very thick. We want to make sure that the ice and pit areas are sufficient to protect your screws. We are planning for Jan 10, as of Jan 6 we had over 6 inches on the pit straight and 3 on the street side. Getting to this point has been way more work than anticipated. We learned a ton and have a handle on it now. We are looking for 2” electric pumps, especially 1 high hp and pressure for the sprinkler system in the summer. The work we did on the oval last fall is really going to widen the passing zones.

I’m looking for feedback in several areas. Marco and I have the schedule 99% done, I’m waiting on a couple things. Jolly Rogers is building a TT course using the oval and infield. He will be running some strictly quad events running both tracks.

We talked about adjusting the Quad classes for 09. Mixing amateurs and experts has created unsafe situations for all. Keep in mind there is not time to add a bunch of classes. Please email me direct and then I’ll post what comes in, this should eliminate arguments among riders. peterg11@verizon.net
