A Closer Look at Amoskeag Beverage Twisted Tea Dwarfs
Family Still a Huge Part of Riverside...
One thing that has not changed at Riverside, is that racing can turn into a family matter. Whether its everyone racing, or one racer, and dad as a crew chief, brothers and cousins as crew members, mom as scorer and cooker, whatever, Riverside can bring everyone together. The 2012 season proves to be more of the same.
The Wyman Motorsports crew is no exception to this rule. Jason will be in the Dwarf car ranks, which isn't a surprise to everyone that was at last years Frost Bite 250, when Wyman put a strong run to end the season. Wyman has also bought another Dwarf car, which will be piloted by Jeff Ainsworth. Jeremy Wyman, Jason's brother, will be putting together a run at the championship in the Street Stocks. Not to be outdone, Jason's wife Vickie will be competing in the Angels division. Talk about some late nights at the shop there...
Another racing family will be competing this summer at Riverside. Vanessa Brown will be racing a full season in the Angels with a new Dodge Neon. Sister Allison Barney will be at the helm of a Pontiac Sunfire, but on a part-time basis. Barney's husband Josh will be testing the waters in the Street Stock division. Racing must be in the water in that household.
Amongst other racing families, people have been busy prepping for another go at it. Luke Shannon has revamped his Late Model, and despite the loss of some sponsors, has his eyes set on challenging for the title. The Gilcris family will also be back at the track, but in a cut back role. Sponsorship trouble has forced Nick to run part time in the 4 cylinder class, as opposed to the Late Model division. Brother Cole Kilby will join him with his famed Ford Probe, converted to a Street Stock with the combining of the Cyclones and Streets. Dennis O'Brien will again drive in the Dwarfs, with new teammate Robert Stanley Jr behind the powerplant in the team car. O'Brien has also been busy turning wrenches on Dan Brofman's ride for the 2012 season.
Time is running short for racers to prep their cars, and with this beautiful weather as of late, the racing season will be here before you know it. We hope your family will join our racing family at the track this season, feel free to stop us and say hi, and enjoy the rest of your Spring. Burnt rubber and racing fuel is just around the corner...
RIVERSIDE SPEEDWAY CAR SHOW & PARADE TO KICK OFF 2012 SEASON
The big news at Riverside Speedway is the up and coming car show format. For the first time in the forty eight year history of Riverside Speedway the car show will be held in down town Groveton. We could not be more excited, having both the Town of Groveton and the State of N.H,'s blessing stated general manager Curtis Robinson, a lot of time and hard work was put into this by our pit steward Min Kennett. She's the one responsible and the one that has put it all together. The tentative format will be announced in a couple of weeks. It was recently announced jointly by C.J. Robinson of Riverside Speedway and John Holland of New England Racing Fuel which supplies the Sunoco Racing fuel at the Speedway that all Street Stock Division drivers with perfect attendance this race season including the Triple Crown Series would be awarded jackets at the 2012 Annual Banquet of Champions at Gorham's Town & Country Inn. License requests, slab rental applications and other forms have started rolling in, its that time of the year, so you all drivers and crew members that haven't got to it yet- time's growing short. The Speedway office at the Race Track will be opening April 10th and will be open from then to the end of race season. For questions, and forms call the Speedway at 603-636-2005 or check out the Riverside Speedway web site. Riverside Speedway is located at 78 Craggy Road just off route 3 in Groveton N.H
Press Release:
A
message to all Riverside Speedway employees, competitors, fans, sponsors
and vendors.
As we prepare for the 2012 racing season at Riverside Speedway it has
come to my attention that I have not done a very good job communicating
with all of you. Please be assured that you are all very important to
the success of Riverside Speedway. The times we live in are about
instant communication through all forms, I am working on that and will
continue to get better.
We have been working diligently since the fall organizing the 2012
season. Has it been going s quickly and as smoothly as we had hoped?
Honestly no! A lot of information had to be sorted through and re
organized to where it made sense to us.
I
know the race season is coming quick. Everyone who has worked hard to
make Riverside Speedway a success in the past has a place there in the
future. If you haven't heard from either me, CJ or Min please to not get
nervous we will be in touch. Also right now the track phone forwards to
my cell phone. That number is 904-545-6241 if you prefer to cal that. I
also changed my email address to the one that is on the website. I found
I was not checking the other one and this one goes to my phone. It is
riversidespeedway.robinson@gmail.com.
Its going to be hectic but things are on track for 2012.
Thanks everyone!
Curtis
