NERRC Season Concludes at Thompson Speedway It's hard to believe the 2021 NERRC season is almost over. After the tumultuous 2020 season and the continued uncertainty for what 2021 would look like when we kicked off with our Driver's school in April, it is a testament to the dedication of all our volunteers and club racing leaders that we hosted every event successfully this year. While some of our national drivers will be away at Indy competing at the Runoffs, the New England Road Racing Championship Weekend Event will be taking place at Thompson Speedway the weekend of Friday-Saturday, October 1-2. NERRC Championship Decisions Heading into this final weekend, 12 NERRC drivers have already secured their 2021 Championship title. However, 11 classes are still up for grabs. The final placements from this event will determine who wins the season. Remember - points from Championship Weekend count for double! Here are the drivers that are already 2021 trophy winners, and the classes to watch where the final event will decide who wins. 2021 NERRC Champions AS - George Farrar  B-Spec - JB Swan GT1 - Joe Zanavich GTX - Maurizio Ceravoli [...]

2021 National Championship Runoffs at Indianapolis Motor Speedway One week from today, the green flag will fly opening the first day of Qualifying for the 2021 Runoffs. Over 900 competitors from across the country are actively finishing their final preparations, loading tow vehicles, and preparing to arrive at the famed Brickyard this weekend. This year's Runoffs is a return to Indy after the first appearance there ever in 2017. The track is opening for test days over the weekend, continuing with activities and action-packed racing through the closing ceremonies on October 3. In traditional fashion, three days of Qualifying for each of the 26 classes will take place Tuesday-Thursday, with the main event, one-race shoot-outs to determine this year's Champion starting Friday morning with the T4 class and finishing Sunday afternoon with FX. Coming from the New England Region will be 36 drivers hoping to leave their mark on this famed track. Of these, three drivers - Nick Leverone, David Oliveira, and Marshall Stocker - will be double dipping, so 39 chances for podiums from our region.
