Capture NEMA
Wins at Lee, Waterford & Monadnock |
The Northeastern Midget Association had a busy
stretch over the past eight days - as the club ran three
events at three different racetracks - LEE USA Speedway, the
New-London Waterford Speedbowl, and Monadnock.
The
NEMA LITES started the stretch when they visited the LEE USA
Speedway. In the 50 lap special event, it appeared that Paul
Scally was going to top the field, but he lost the lead in
the late stages of the event to Jake Trainor driving the
Seymour 29. Trainor came from deep in the field, and passed
Scally to take down his third victory of the year. Scally
was second followed by Joe Bailey in the Scrivani 21, Richie
Coy, Kyle Valeri, Avery Stoehr, Jim SantaMaria, Randy
Cabral, Chris Vose and Dylan Cotu.
On Wednesday
evening, the NEMA Midget group visited the New-London
Waterford Speedbowl for the first time this season. After a
long rain delay, when the green flag dropped, Doug Cleveland
and Jake Trainor brought the field to the green flag.
Trainor quickly got out into the lead, and Todd Bertrand in
the Bertrand 47 overtook Cleveland on the outside to settle
into second. Further back, Randy Cabral was dicing his way
through the pack in the Bertrand 74. As the laps wound down,
Bertrand could not muster up a charge on Trainor, as the 16
year old went on to win the event and become one of the
youngest ever NEMA feature winners in the full NEMA
division, dating back to Bobby Santos' first win at 16 years
old in 2002. Bertrand was second followed by Randy Cabral,
Avery Stoehr, Paul Scally, John Zych, Nathan Byrd, Doug
Cleveland, Jeff Champagne and Matt O'Brien.
On
Saturday evening, both NEMA Midgets and the NEMA LITES
visited the Monadnock Speedway for the Iron Mike Scrivani
Memorial. One of the biggest purses of the year was raised
to celebrate the long time car owner, Mike Scrivani Sr. of
the famed "Mike's Truckstop." Scrivani was a multi time
champion across NEMA, ARDC, even competing and winning many
USAC main events.
In the LITES division, Paul Scally
jumped out into the lead from his outside pole starting
position. Quickly, Scally went to work, turning quick times,
running in the 12.5/12.6 range. Behind Scally, Randy Cabral
in his own #26 Hawk chassis was trying to chase down Scally,
but could not make gains. Further back, Jake Trainor in the
Seymour #29 was slicing his way through the pack, and moved
into third on lap seventeen. By lap twenty one, Trainor had
moved into second, and Scally, fighting brake issues, had
started to slow down. Trainor began picking up the pace and
would pull to within two carlengths of Scally with two laps
to go, and was on his bumper at the white flag. Trainor
would pull even with Scally's name plate off of turn four,
but lose by a half carlength. Scally would go on to win,
with Trainor second, Randy Cabral, Joe Bailey, Richie Coy,
Kyle Valeri, Mike Pernesiglio, Anthony Payne, Dylan Cotu,
and Jordan Eldridge.
In the NEMA Midgets group, when
the green flag flew, Doug Cleveland jumped out into the lead
from the pole. Cleveland, in one of his best outings of the
last decade, looked incredibly strong, running laps down in
the low 12 second bracket. Cleveland would lead the first 18
laps of the feature, in his own chassis, with John Zych
stalking him lap after lap. Zych would make a bid for the
lead on lap 19, and Cleveland's hopes for a win would
subside. Once in command, Zych would put on a blistering
pace enroute to the Iron Mike Scrivani victory. Avery Stoehr
finished second, followed by Alan Chambers, who also had an
epic battle with Cleveland, to complete the podium. Todd
Bertrand, Jake Trainor, Cleveland, Matt O'Brien, Matt Merry,
Mike Horn, and Kenney Johnson rounded out the top 10.

Iron Mike Scrivani Memorial |
Out of a truck stop in Wrentham, Massachusetts came
midgets that dominated East coast racing with both NEMA and
ARDC. By day "Iron" Mike Scrivani, Sr., ran his truck stop,
and on the weekends he loaded up and headed to wherever NEMA
was racing. With his ever present cigar in his mouth
Scrivani was a fixture in the NEMA pits throughout the
1960's and 70's, fielding meticulous, immaculate cars for
the likes of Noki Fornoro, Butch Walsh, and Dave Humphrey,
all NEMA champions. Truthfully, Iron Mike's midget exploits
were a full time job, with the team racing sometimes in over
50 NEMA and ARDC events per year.
While he lived up
to his nickname, Iron Mike never hesitated to help a fellow
racer in need. Have a tough night? Need some parts? Iron
Mike would tell you to show up at the Truck Stop on Sunday
morning. There are probably guys who still have his parts in
their garage.
Iron Mike passed in 1983, and was
inducted into the NEAR Hall of Fame in 2007. His place in
NEMA and midget history is secure, and son Mike Scrivani,
Jr. continues the Iron Mike legacy, fielding championship
cars in both NEMA and NEMA Lights. The old man would be
proud. |
