New England Dragway and NSA create strong alliance in 2010
New England Dragway (NED), located in Epping, New Hampshire will host the National
Speed Association’s (NSA) Pro Stock 1000 sled events for sixth season in 2010, including
the IHRA North American Nitro Jam.
When the NSA series officially kicked off in 2005, one of the many goals written into the
business plan was to become a viable form of entertainment. After five seasons of proven
performance, the NSA series has evolved into one of the premiere groups to race at NED.
“Pro Stock snowmobile competitors truly reflect the basic tenets of drag racing”, said Joe
Lombardo, Track Manager of NED. “The sport (of drag racing) is known as a venue for
those with ingenuity and talent to wring out the last drop of performance from their
respective machines. Given the platform snowmobile competitors have to work with it's truly
amazing to see how far they've come,” added Lombardo. “It's also a kick to watch the
expression on a fan's face when the scoreboard lights up at the end of a spectacular run.”

major meet of the season.
Lombardo is enthusiastic about the return of the NSA Pro Stock Sled series this season.
So enthusiastic in fact, that he’s created a purse for the series. NED will be paying $650 to
the NSA event winner and $350 to the runner up at each major event in 2010. “NSA is
starting to develop a following at our major events,” said Lombardo. “People enjoy the
class and it's becoming part of our major event program.” The veteran track manager
believes in providing an incentive during these events to reward the NSA group for helping
the track grow.
This is the first time in the history of Pro Stock Asphalt Snowmobile racing that a venue has
acknowledged the strength of the ‘fast sleds’ by offering a payout. The NSA group, with its
talent and competition has taken another major step forward in Pro Stock asphalt racing.
“The NSA series has emerged as one of the most organized groups to run at New England

Twelve race teams were in
Epping, New Hampshire for the
third points race of the NSA
season. Unfortunately the day
got off to a late start as the
track personnel worked into
the early afternoon in the
90-degree heat to dry the top
end of the track. Heavy
downpours on Friday night
soaked the track and
uncontrollable weeping in the
shut down area prevented ¼
mile racing on this day.
Hamel had some tough riders
to beat on race day. He had a
close first round against Dale Swartwout (Saratoga, NY) as Swartwout cut a better light but
Hamel drove around him with the quicker sled. Hamel also battled a tough second round
when his reaction time slipped a bit. His opponent, Ricky Romano (Poland, ME) had an
outstanding light, but would suffer the loss to the quicker A2Z sled. Hamel had a bye into
the final round where he met Dan Meyer (Gray, ME). Meyer's sled stumbled off the line
and succumbed to the consistently quick Hamel/Zering team.
Hamel and the A2Z Racing team scored a huge payday taking home $2750 for the win.

Ken Lund was the first to receive his name on the Limited Edition Wahl Racing trophy as the
2008 Champion in the Wahl Racing series, followed by Pearl in 2009. This incredible
“traveling” trophy will again have Pearl’s name added to it and will travel from year to year
with the winner of each season’s Wahl Challenge.
A special thank you goes out to Dave Wahl and Wahl Bros Racing on their continued
support of the NSA Pro Stock 1000cc Asphalt series.
Meyer made a nice showing into the semi final round but was defeated this round by Veteran
racer Paul Austin (Camano Island, WA). Pearl matched Meyer’s semi-final finish and
secured his place as the 2010 Wahl Cup Champion.

1st - Jay Pearl, Newport, ME (Bangor Motorsports)
