n Raceway ,a good field of cars signed in at the pit gate with a driver returning to the sunhine state to make the final race, welcome back Bruce from a suRace Recap

The final race o f the 2008 season was held at the super fast South Marioccessful racing season in the N.E.
The first race to hit the track was the always popular Street Stocks who beat and banged there way to a two car race by two hired guns Carl the Flying Fossil Whitehouse driving for the Graham Racing team and Bruce Beaulieu driving for the ever potent Fubar Racing Ent.
In final laps the flying Fossil snuck by and got the win with Bruce hanging on for a well deserved second.

Next up were the mighty Modifieds ,this race was a hotly contested race for third place with Larry Granger,Da Fossil and Bruce Beaulieu .In the end it was Roger Graham pulling out the win with Carl Ross second Da Fossil,Larry Granger,Bruce Beaulieu rounding out the top five.

The Winged warriors the 410 Sprinters hit the track for there final show of 2008 and put on one of there best shows this year with Colemans own Roger Graham taking the checkers for the second time today in his very fast Graham Trucking Sprinter ,Larry Granger in his Fubar Chevy grabing second place with hired gun Bruce Beaulieu driving Larrys backup car just edging out Carl Ross in a photo finish at the line for third place ,the Flying Fossil had some motor issues and finnished a distant fifth

As the 410s were exiting the track the fast of the fast was being pushed off and getting fired up for there final race of 2008.This race was not going to disappoint anyone as Larry Granger in his fuel injected small block 358 Chevy ran a strong steady race to claim the final checkered flag of the season followed by Carl Ross in the Priceless Scrapbooking sponsered injected 358 Chevy ,Roger Graham ,Bruce Beaulieu with Carl Whitehouse pulling down fifth place after crashing with a late entry who towed in from N.Florida Lee Graham a family member of Roger Graham (looking at the two you would think they were cloned) Lee driving one of the Graham Race teams Ford powered Sprinter rode over the wheel of Da Fossil sending Lee into a series of barrel rolls down the front stright,the driver was sore after his wild ride but other wise OK, but the car took alot of damage looks like Roger will be burning the mid-night oil to get the car rebuilt for next week.

Remember the first race of 2009 will take at Carls brand new Hurricane Raceway ,pit gates will open at 1pm for practice with racing beginning at about 2:00- 2:30 all features will be run for 109 laps to celabrate the new year.
