Spring series schedule update

The last race of the spring series is now July 18th at MX207 in Lyman, Maine. This is to make up for one of the races that were cancelled earlier in the series. The next day (July 19th) will be the first race of the Fall series. The Fall series runs until October 25th at Southwick.

Spend the Fourth of July weekend at Jolly Roger's in East Lempster, NH

Check this out, for a ten dollar gate admission you can get into the park for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. There's an open practice on Friday from 12-5PM for only 35 bucks. Race the NEMX race on Saturday (no NEMX card required) then race the NESC race on Sunday. There's tons of contingency up for grabs as Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha and Suzuki are paying on Saturday and then on Sunday they are all paying again!
At night Marco Gagnon (the man behind Jolly) has a couple bands lined up. An AC/DC tribute band called Riff Raff and opening for them will be Out On Bail. He's also got a burnout contest and some Fourth of July fireworks.
Oh yeah if you've ever ridden Jolly backwards and wanted to ride it that way again, this is your chance as both days will feature the track run in reverse!.
Gates open on Friday at 8AM.

Pat Murphy Sr. retired NESC referee passed away.

He had a heart attack while playing golf with one of his grandsons on Thursday June 18th. Pat had been involved with NESC motocross for a long time ever since his son, Pat Jr., started racing back in the '80s. He worked as a track ref and an NESC ref for many years at nearly every track in New England. The whole Murphy family helped out at the races, Pat's wife Ann did checking as did his daughter Marie Boschen.

The wake will be 5-7 at Okeefe-Wade Funeral home in Taunton, MA. They are at 70 Washington St. right near Morton Hospital.
They also set up an ebook at the funeral home's web page, okeefewade.com

Rule book correction

For 2009 the amount of throw-away dates has been reduced to one per class per half. The rule now reads:

CP-3 A. Championship points are accumulated from all of the championship motos within each class throughout each series. The rider that has accumulated the most championship points in each series is declared the series champion.
B. A rider must participate in at least 50% of the races in a series to be eligible for year end awards.
C. Throw-away days: for 2009 we are allowing only one throw-away day per series. Only one day’s score will allowed to be dropped during each half.
 HOW IT WORKS
If you completely miss one day then you accumulate “0” points for that day and “0” is subtracted from your final total.
If you miss no race days, then your lowest score for one day during the series is subtracted from your final total.
If you are disqualified from a class for any reason (whether it is for one moto or both motos), then the total score for that class on that day will not be allowed to be counted as a throwaway day.
