Choquette had a fiercesome January on the short tracks of Florida, winning on dirt at New Hendry County Speedway and then back to back wins at USA International Speedway in Speedfest 2008.

Friday Night at Speedfest 2008 fans witnessed Jeff Choquette’s first victory at USA International Speedway, although he has competed there many times and had some in second all too often.

He won the 200 lap feature on the 3/4 speedway with a huge margin of victory using smart pit strategy and a very fast race car to take back to back wins.

Six months of planning and preparation finally came together at New Smyrna Speedway Saturday afternoon. The occasion was the the First Annual Modified Reunion, organized by Jerry Binner and several other race fans. Over 100 drivers and car owners from across America came together to swap stories and memories from one fan called the ‘grand old days of racing”.

modifiedreunion4-021508.jpgThey came from New York, Canada, Pennsylvania, Virginia and of course all the New England states. Names like Dutch Hoag, Bugs Stevens, George Summers, Billy Harmon, Chuck Boos, Ed Ortiz and Ron Bouchard signed autographs from adoring fans and told stories.

Many of the heroes of yesteryear were interviewed for Real Racin’ USA by Jerry Binner, Phil Schriver and Carol Wicks. Among them were Bob Judkins, Bob Garbarino, Lew Boyd, Bobby Pendergass, Tom Ormsby, Doug Hevron, and Bill Wimble.

LISTEN TO THE SHOW!

Several of the former racers said that this one of the best reunion events they had been to, an event where at times tears flowed as freely as the laughs as old buddies and rivalries were revisited.
