WENTWORTH, NH – The i’s have been dotted, the t’s have been crossed
and Si Allen of West Windsor, VT is now legally and officially the
proud owner of Legion Speedway, located on Route 25 at the Rumney/Wentworth
town line. The real estate closing took place on January 19 in the
Law Offices of Dechman and Cowie in Plymouth.
Allen, the 1975 Late Model Track Champion at Westboro Speedway and
the 2005 Sprint Cars of New England Series Champion, expressed his
appreciation to the members and officers of Lamont Kennison American
Legion Post 76.
“The Post has supported the track for the last half century and my
job is to carry on the great tradition they established,” Allen
said. Post Commander Dave Learned and Adjutant Wayne Frost
represented the Legion at the closing.
Allen has already made a number of improvements to the facility and
plans to add several more inches of clay to the surface before the
doors open for a practice session on May 20. Twilight racing will be
held on Sundays with hot laps at 4:30 pm and racing at 5:00,
starting Memorial Day Weekend, May 27. Sportsman Modifieds, Super
Streets, Mini Stocks and 600cc Mini Sprints will be the weekly
divisions while the Sprint Cars of New England and the Granite State
Mini Sprints tours will make periodic visits.
Wally and Janine Brown, proprietors of Brownie’s Automotive in
Enfield and third generation racers, will promote and operate the
track.
“Janine and I are looking forward to working with Si to provide
racers with a safe, fair place to race and giving fans a quick,
action packed show that makes them want to come back again next
week,” Wally Brown said.
