NHMS ~ 4/27/13

The Hooligan Motorsports #8 was ready to make some right-hand turns as we hit the New Hampshire Motor Speedway road course on Saturday, April 27 for the Moat Mountain Smoke House & Brewing Company Legends Series.  Although NHMS is not part of the NELCAR Tour this year, we are planning to visit the speedway as often as our schedule allows.

We hit the pits early in the morning, ready to race and armed with a boatload of Casey Jones Bones samples to hand out!

Everyone changed gears and got back into the swing of road racing, after a long 6 months off.  Although a bit chilly, the spring day proved to be a great one for racing.

Look for the Hooligan #8 to be back in action at NHMS during the Father's Day weekend Loudon Classic -- and quite possibly on May 18 as well!

The #8 was loose all day, which was not helped by a hectic hurry-up pace between the heat and feature races.  We finished p17, which was certainly not the result we had hoped for.  We'll get 'em next time...

With qualifying spots for the Nationals on the line, we saw the largest car count since we've been running the NELCAR tour! 30 cars showed up, however the racing field ended up at 29 after another competitor had some motor issues in practice.

We were pleased to debut Casey Jones Bones both on the car and in the pits!  We will have samples of these amazing -- made in New Hampshire -- dog treats in our pit area all season long, so make sure you stop by to grab some for your 4-legged kids!
