Hello
Racers, Friends, Family and Fans,
The 2nd Annual Shane
Hammond Memorial Race is scheduled for July 30, 2011 at The
Waterford Speedbowl. We are looking for corporate sponsors to
help with the cost of the day. Last year shirts looked awesome
and I can't wait to see what Bill Smith from Wild Child Design
comes up with this year. All corporate sponsors will be featured
on the shirt and program.
We will also be selling
laps for $20.00. You can choose a lap and a position to sponsor,
even which division and that race team will receive an extra
$20.00. All lap sponsors will be featured in the program as
well. It takes time to coordinate all the events of the day,
volunteers, raffles, food and fun. We hope you will consider
being a part of this years memorial race.
Last year sponsors
included but not limited to:
A-1 Automotive - Ancient
Art Studios - Atlantic Trophy - Bentley's Saloon
Bertrand Motorsports -
Circle Performance - Crown Collision Dan deRitis
Haggerty Family - G2
Radios.com - Kahan Family - Maier Family
Martino Family - Mike &
Lu Jarret - Mike's Automotive = Motor Cars International
Rodenbaugh Family -
Thompson International Speedway - Tom O'Brien Hyundai
Every Dollar helps put
this event together and all monies are divided evenly to NEMA &
NEMA LITE divisions. Please consider being a part of this worthy
event. Please spread the word to your friend list and visit
www.shanehammond.org or friend us on Facebook at Shane Hammond
Believe. Thanks for your continued support.

The SHMR is Coming Up! |
The second
annual Shane Hammond Memorial Race is set to take place next
weekend (Saturday, July 30) at the Waterford Speedbowl.
Following an incredibly successful inaugural event last season,
the race is organized by NEMA and The Shane Hammond Believe
Foundation.
Shane Hammond was a young, talented driver who started his
career at the Hi-Groove Speedway in Winchester, NH. There, Shane
learned how to wheel a go kart on the dirt. He mastered the
track and earned the name “Smoothy.” From there, he went on to
run the NHKA series and ran various classes of karts with the
support of his grandfather, Jack Glockner, a former stock car
driver from the Norwood Arena era.
Shane had a short reprieve from racing at age 15 when diagnosed
with a brain and spine tumor. Surgery didn’t keep him down nor
did that pain that nagged him everyday. He had a determination
that could only be described as surreal and amazing. He lived
for racing and anyone who knew him believed and supported his
dream.
The unselfish character of Shane helped other racers too. He had
his brother, Anthony Marvuglio, racing ¼ midgets by age 6. After
that, they raced together in karts for years and were looking
forward to racing together in NEMA. In fact, they were building
another NEMA car so they could compete together – but it was not
to be, as Shane’s time on earth came to a tragic end on April
6th, 2008 while competing in a midget at the Thompson
International Speedway’s Icebreaker event.
Shane’s brother, Anthony will be competing this year with the
NEMA lite series in car #21 (representing the day Shane was
born). No matter what the finish is it will be a glorious day &
Shane will be with him always.
Last years inaugural event at Waterford was hit with a rain
delay & we made the best of it. This year Deb has prayed for the
perfect race day to celebrate & honor Shane.
The event will have 37 laps in honor of his car number. With 10
lap heats and 27 lap features for NEMA and NEMA lites.
THE SHMR and SHBF want to ask everyone to join in on the
celebration and join us at this event. There will be a
hospitality tent set up for drivers, crew & sponsors along with
raffles, cash n carry items and of course those famous Believe
t-shirts. Shane’s mother, Deb, wants to thank all the corporate
and individual sponsors who help make this day possible. |
