2012 NEMS Canaan Series | Race 5 Canceled

The NEMS Canaan Series 5th race of the season was canceled this past weekend just as the cars lined up for the Heat. The plan, was that if rain hit, it was only predicted to last for less than an hour, then it would be back to racing. That’s when the unpredicted happened. The track lost power. Officials estimated that the power wouldn’t be back on for many hours, forcing the event to be canceled.

Local race series will be back on Wednesday as a rain date. NEMS teams, most traveling 2 hours or more, will not be able to make a Wednesday rain date. Instead, all NEMS teams are instructed to keep their Pit Pass bracelets for reentry on Friday the 20th.  

All is well for Race 5 at Canaan today

It’s game on for racing at Canaan speedway today. Eyes will be on the 40% scattered showers predicted for later tonight. If the status changes, you can check here for an instant update. Or sign up for a free text message through the Rained out Icon found on the neminisprints.com website. See you guys at the track.

NEMS welcomes back Jordan Eldridge in his first 600cc race in the number 78.

NEMS,  suffering from attrition from other shows through the last few weeks, lost a few cars to blown motors and wrecks. With a little luck and allot of dedication, we hope to see everyone back in Race 5 two weeks away.

It was a great night for racing. A 60 second sprinkle, to cool the air, was a welcome addition before racing to beat the dreaded heat. The Starting lineup for the night consisted of positions drawn for start with the top 4 points leaders inverted at the rear. On the pole Derek Eldridge #8, Drew Eldridge #7, Jamie Glidden #4, Christine Boesch #23, Scott Preston # 05, Rich Crooker #21, Jordan Eldridge #78.

The drop of the green and Derek Eldridge was out to an early lead. Crooker made a mad dash to 2nd before a caution came out for Jamie Glidden who spun in turn 2. After a single file restart, Crooker pushed to take the lead away from Derek. Meanwhile, Boesch, Jordan, and Drew were scuffling for 4th with Preston just in front of them in 3rd. Drew, running out of fuel made his way off the track causing the second caution.

Another single file restart brought the pack to the checkers with the Crooker taking the checkers followed by Derek Eldridge, Preston, Glidden, Boesh, Jordan Eldridge, and Drew Eldridge.

The feature lineup, starting lineup in the order of Heat finish with the 4 points leaders inverted to the back once again. Derek Eldridge, Drew Eldridge, Jamie Glidden, Christine Boesch, Scott Preston, Rich Crooker, Jordan Eldridge.

Lap 1: Crooker with one fell swoop jumped from 6th to 3rd and right to 2nd on lap 2. At the same time Boesch made her move to 5th.

Lap 5: RED FLAG as Preston and Boesch entangled and Boesch landed on her roof. Preston, standing on his brake so hard he broke his linkage and was also forced to leave the track early. The restart would be single file, #8, #21, #7, #4, #78.

Lap 7: The restart was all that Crooker needed to pull in the lead that Derek had before the caution, and made his pass on lap 7. This was the last position change before taking the checkered flag. Finishing results shown above.

The next race will be in 2 weeks on the 17th. See you all there.
