NEMRR Race #1 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway
The 2021 race season for NEMRR kicked off at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in chilly conditions, but the paddock was buzzing with excitement to get out and ride. The series has made some rule changes over the off season to bring NEMRR more in line with CCS national rules, including a move back to open fuel rules (which several riders were anxious to test). Finally, the track opened up the apex of Turn 10 by about 6 feet, giving riders a straighter shot back into the infield. This change was universally received well as riders commented that the turn was both more fun and safer – a win-win for all!
Leading the way on Saturday was 2020 #1 plate holder Rick Doucette, with wins in GTL by #74, Seacoast Sport Cycle Lightweight Grand Prix and 300 Supersport races. During the Saturday riders meeting, Rick received a special “Champion Edition” Fender Guitar to commemorate the 10th overall series championship of his career. Rick has won a record 95 championships and got off to a great start in 2021 on his way to 100.
In the Saturday Michelin/Motorace $1500 Dash for Cash two young standouts put in impressive performances. Sam Greenwood, son of perennial NEMRR standout Scott Greenwood, carried forward the family tradition of winning with a dominating performance. Sam put in the fastest lap of the race on lap 3 and then continued to build up over a 10 second cushion over Rick Doucette and Paul Duval. Duval had to battle hard all race with rising star Eli Block who was incredibly riding a Husquvarna 450 motard bike against a field of 600cc sport bikes. Block and Duval swapped positions constantly during the race, giving the crowd a number of “hold your breath” moments as they literally went through many corners within inches of each other. Block set an all time record lap time for a Motard, recording an incredible 1:14.9 on lap number 5 of the event.
Saturday also marked the inaugural event of the NEMRR Super Street Series, which is an opportunity for track day riders to be part of the NEMRR weekend in a race that is designed more for fun than pure competition. These riders only need to have completed a track day in the previous 12 months (which can be the Friday before the event) and then they get a pair of practices, a heat and a final – all the while being able to watch the best racers in the Northeast between sessions. The winners of these debut classes were Gregory Livanos in the lightweight division and Semir Falic in the unlimited division.
In the amatuer ranks there were two riders who put in particularly impressive performances. Kevin Custer racked up 5 wins in the very competitive middleweight ranks on his Suzuki GSXR600, with his strongest performance coming in the Middleweight Formula 40 class when he dropped into the 1:17 range, a time that will soon make him eligible to advance to Expert. NEMRR also welcomed 12 year old newcomer Alessandro Di Mario who really turned some heads on his Yamaha R3 as we won all three of his races on Sunday and managed to beat all but one of the Experts in the 300 Superbike class. Alessandro’s 1:21 was within two seconds of the all time track record in the class, an incredible performance for an Amatuer racer who was visiting NHMS for the first time!
Round two of the NEMRR series kicks off on May 22, interested riders can visit www.lrrsracing.com for more information. Riders wishing to register for Super Street can either call NEMRR or add the Super Street Class to a Friday track registration with the Penguin Racing School at www.penguinracing.com.
