Round six of the NorthEast Motorcycle Road Racing (NEMRR) series was held at New Hampshire Motor Speedway under a mix of both weather conditions and emotions. With the paddock still very much feeling the loss of #3 Scott Mullin, the weekend started by finishing off the remaining races that were carried over from round 5. At the riders meeting before the start of the weekend there were some heartfelt words shared and paddock as a whole came together in the spirit of carrying on the legacy that Scott left behind of racing hard, racing clean, helping your fellow riders, appreciating the people around us and to remember to smile and laugh as Scott sis. At conclusion of the race the riders who were in the race with Scott at the previous round all gathered together on pit lane in a show of support for both the family and each other, with an unspoken understanding that we were moving forward with our friend still at our sides.
Several riders showed impressive speed over the course of the weekend. One of the most anticipated races was in the 500cc division, where regular NEMRR front runners Eli Block and Ben Gloddy were to be joined by fellow MotoAmerica star Gus Rodio in what promised to be an epic showdown of young talent in the SportbikeTrackGear.com 500 SuperSport and the Firsttrax GT500 classes. Unfortunately an incident early in the weekend ruled Gloddy out of the race. When the green flag dropped it was Block grabbing the point, followed by fellow young upstart Brianna McHugh, who held off the changing Rodio until lap 3 of the contest. With the lead trio distancing themselves from the pack, Rodio set off after Block with McHugh staying within striking distance until the very last lap when Rodio and Block both dropped into the 1:17 range. The Gloddy/Rodio/Block battle will be on a national stage in a few weeks at NJMP, when all three are shooting to be on the podium at the penultimate round of the MotoAmerica Junior Cup.
Racing was fierce in the lightweight classes this weekend as the KTM 790 of Steven Heider earned two victories and two runner up finishes over the course of the weekend. Heider and NEMRR #1 plate holder Rick Doucette had a couple of barn burners that keep the crowd on their feet the entire race. In the Innovative Motorsports Formula 40 Lights race Hieder got the holeshot and held off Doucette for nearly the entire event with the pair of riders lapping in the low 1:16 range. On the last lap Doucette used his racecraft to pull off a crafty pass and managed to pull out a small gap at the checkered flag. In the Seacoast Sport Cycle Lightweight Grand Prix race it was looking like a repeat with Hieder grabbing the holeshot and Doucette in hot pursuit the whole race. Doucette showed impressive speed as he gained on his rival, dropping a 1:15 on lap two and then settling in a close second place position for remainder of the contest. As the last lap unfolded the crowd waited for another classic Doucette move but Heider rode a flawless lap to finish the race, closing off critical passing lanes while running his best lap of the race as he crossed the finished line. We’re looking forward to the next chapter of this rivalry at round #7!
In the Amateur ranks, Michael Chase continued his outstanding season with wins in the Bay Radiology HW Superbike, Motoholders MW Supersport and Plaistow Powersports MW Grand Prix Classes. Chase has been a consistent front runner this season, often battling with the likes of Kevin Custer and Joe Ammendolia. This weekend Chase consistently got off to great starts, and while his competitors were able to match his times, his consistent fast pace earned him some hard-fought victories this weekend. Among the three Amateur front runners, Ammendolia has the upper hand over Chase and Custer with respect to the overall Amateur Championship, but the trio has their work cut our for them to catch the likes of lightweight riders Matt Paternoster and Thomas Sands. With two rounds remaining and a double points round at the final event in October, the field is still wide open.
NEMRR Round #7 will take place on September 18 & 19 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
