Canaan Celebrates Winners at Banquet

November 13, 2006 (Naples, ME) Although the Canaan Fair Motorsports Complex season came to an abrupt end at the beginning of September owing to the premature end of the lease, the 2006 management team thought that the competitors who supported the asphalt track in 2006 should be recognized.

Almost 150 people came to collect their trophies and checks, share in a great buffet by Chappy, and listen to some tunes and dance to the music provided by DJ Gary Sullivan (who was also the champion of the Pure Stock Division).

Scott Reed, the Master of Ceremonies for the evening, thanked everyone for their efforts during the 2006 season, including Les and Karen Baab, Rick and Tammie (Tech and scoring), Ernie and Kathy (VIP Booth), Amanda (50-50), the wrecker crew, Mansurs track crew, the Wentworth Ambulance Service, Canaan Police Department, the Canaan Fire Department, and all the competitors who made 2006 possible.

Scott also recognized Chick and Sandy Henry for all they are doing to improve the facility for 2007 and beyond. Chick said that they should have news in a week or two on what will be happening in 2007 on both the asphalt and dirt tracks.

Then it was time for the champions. Donnie Lashua took home the champion’s trophy and check for the Outlaw Late Models as the best of the 26 racers who competed in the Outlaw Late Models 2006, followed by Jimmy Renfrew, Walt Hammond, Bobby Allen, Chris Curtis, Kevin Bolduc, Brian Henry, and Rob French.

In the Super Sportsman, it was George Baldwin adding to his trophy case with the champion’s trophy and check, followed by Chris Curtis, Jay Coulter, Ricky Bly, Howard Sullivan, Chick Henry, and Cory Roberts.

Chris Lyman was the top dog in the Mini Stocks, followed by Travis Compo, Trever Perrault, Meeghan Tarbell, Josh Compo, Jim Carley, Shawn Brown, and Andy Torres.

In the Pure Stocks, it was Gary Sullivan taking home the big trophy. Rob Thurston was second, followed by Keith Walton and Joey Jarvis. And Kody Wright took home all the hardware in the Outlaw Mini Stocks.
