With the 2006 DIRT MotorSports NorthEast season officially getting underway, the Regional points program developed during the off-season is taking shape around the circuit for both open-wheel and full-fender race teams.
The new Regional racing series for DIRT 358-Modified, DIRT Sportsman and DIRT Pro Stock classes divides DIRT NorthEast sanctioned tracks into three regions. Those regional points earned will be kept completely separate and have NO direct bearing on the respective overall Hoosier Tire-Sunoco Race Fuels Mr. DIRT Championship in any class or track championship points race.
In the 358-Modified ranks, open-wheel veteran Pat O’Brien (North), Matt Quinn and Jerry Higbie (East), and Boyd MacTavish (West) lead their respective Regional point standings. O’Brien was the top small-block finisher in the only event ---a big-block feature--- held so far at Thunder Alley. Quinn (Lebanon Valley), Higbie (Orange County), MacTavish (Ransomville) and West Regional contender Larry Lampman Jr. (Merrittville) have also reached victory lane.
