    <description><![CDATA[It was a busy, hot & sunny day for Monadnock with the Whalen tour division at the Speedway. The car went out for 2 practices and was found to be loose, so some adjustments were made to tighten. Started 6th in the qualifying heat and finished in 2nd place just behind Chris. Beth was happy with the way the car was set up and handling so it was left as is, ready to go for the feature.  In the feature Beth started 8th and worked her way up to 2nd place by lap 3 or 4. She followed behind Chris in the #15 car until more than half way through. She tried to make the pass to the outside but contact was made with the car broking loose sliding back to 2nd place. After a few more laps a caution flag was flown and on the restart she was finally able to make a pass for the lead. Another caution was called with 5 laps to go and after that restart she lead for the remaining final laps. Beth finished 1st place in her first feature win of the year. Awesome job!<br><br />

    <description><![CDATA[From last weeks fast run there was only slight adjustments needed to be made to loosen the handling. Both practices went off well and everything was looking good to go. There was a break before the heat in which Beth an the other Waxy O'Connor drivers went to the Waxy tent for a meet & greet and to sign autographs. In the heat Beth started 4th and finished 2nd behind the #66 car. In the feature Beth started 7th. The entire 25 lap race was caution free with the #87 moving up to 2nd place by lap 12. Beth stayed in 2nd place fighting for an opening to take the lead but just wasn't able to catch that break. She crossed the finish line with less than a car length behind the #66. It was another great night of racing and the Beth Adams Race Team was very pleased with the results of their work. Lending a big helping hand this week was Paul & Zach Hachey, so a thank you goes out to them. After the race it was off to Waxy O'Connor's to celebrate Cinco de Mayo Day and listen to the Tom Foolery Band.<br><br />

    <title>What is that big white tent at turn 4 at Monadnock Speedway?</title>
    <link>xml-rss2.php?itemid=126</link>
    <description><![CDATA[You may not have been able to miss seeing the large white canape tent set up at the left of the track at turn 4 but do you know why it's there? Many we talked too at the other end of track did not. It's the pre-race party tent hosted by Waxy O'Connors of Keene, NH. Head out early to the track to start off the night of racing by meeting the Waxy crew, listen to some music from the weekly live band, have something from the grill & a nice cold beverage. Wristbands for the Pre-Race Party Tent are available at Waxy's bar in the Best Western of Keene, NH or when you purchase your tickets at the track for $10. There is also new a bouncy house that children 12 and under can entertain themselves with. <br />
<br />
After the band stops prior the race everyone is able to purchase beverages and food at the tent. It's less crowded (as of now but that will hopefully change), they have a selection of beverages from assorted beers and wines. Then after the Races the party continues Waxy's with Live Music Starting at 9 pm!  ]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[After last weeks engine trouble which took Beth early out of the 1st race, the motorman who tore the engine down determined it was due to cylinder trouble. He worked hard during the week to get it repaired, back together and in good running order. On 1st practice the car was tight. We ended up adjusting the car some more to loosen the back end. On the 2nd practice a few more adjustments as it was still handling tight. Russ Hershey ended up lending a helping hand making some suggestions for adjustments. The car was now handling much better and made a huge difference in the turns. <br />
<br />
On the heat Beth started on the pole and walked away with 1st place. In the feature Beth started 3rd, by lap 2 she moved up to 2nd and then the caution flag came out. On the re-start the #87 was on the outside with the green and ran that line for several laps fighting for 1st with Chris McTaggart. She was unable to make that pass though due to the car starting to work itself back to being tight. Beth then fell back to 2nd place and held that position until the checkered flag. It was a very close race between the top 3 cars, lots bumping and bumper to bumper driving to the end of the race for an exciting finish! Congrats Beth for her hard work and to Chris McTaggart for earning his win. <br><br />

    <title>April 21st</title>

    <description><![CDATA[The day started off with high hopes in practice. The car was performing better and better in each practice run with very fast times. During the qualifying Beth made a few laps around the track and started having mechanical problems cutting the feature short and not finishing. Water was found in the oil causing the problems. The head was removed from the engine to see if the head gasket was blown. Thanks to the help offered from competitors there was plenty of support in getting the head gasket changed and back together just in time for the feature. In the feature the #87 started in 13th place, made a couple laps and the engine started skipping so Beth brought the car off the track and called it a night.<br />
<br />
What started out as a disappointing day ended up being a great night when we went to Waxy O'Connor's after the race. Thanks to our sponsors for their support and hospitality. We had a great dinner, drinks and good company with special guest of the night Rob Ninkovich from the New England Patriots, Gordon & Barry the proprietors of Waxy's.<br />
<br />
The next day the motor came out and found the head had a small pin hole as the cause of the mechanical troubles. The engine is expected be all back together and ready for next week’s race. <br><br />

    <description><![CDATA[With the body work, painting and decals all in place it was time to test and tune up the car today for the season opening. The practice went well with some minor pushing in the front. Worked out the bugs and decided the car was good to go for the following week. <br><br />
