March 10th, 2014 The Snell
Family 3 Strong at the Drome in 2014
by Ray Hodge
.
Veteran Owner/ Driver Joe Snell will be back at Chemung in 2014 with sons
Jake and Dusty along side. All three Snells will compete
weekly this year bringing all 3 Monte Carlo Super stocks to
the track every Friday night.
Joe Snell, the Owner of RC Welding Supply began his racing career in 1975
running Karts at the Hughesville Kart Club in Hughesville
PA. After 4 years and two championships in the Kart, Joe
moved on to what was then called the Sport Stock division at
the Shangri La Speedway in Owego NY until 1982 when he
decided to take some time off from driving. He wouldn’t go
far, with racing in his blood, Joe would lend a helping hand
to several other drivers including Ed McGuire, Harry
Benjamin and Wayne and Bucky Edwards in several different
types of cars. In 2000 Joe returned to the newly renamed
Tioga Speedway in Owego in a Modified he purchased from
Elmira’s Chuck Winslow. He would run the Modified division
there awaiting the opening of the new Chemung Speedrome
scheduled to open for the 2001 racing season. From 2001
through 2006 Joe would run the B-Mod division at both
Chemung and Tioga Speedway with much success. Full Story
February 3rd, 2014 Four Cylinder
Champion Morich Looking Ahead to 2014
by Ray Hodge
.
Back to back track Championships in two different divisions in two years
is just the beginning for Horseheads High School Sophomore
Nick Morich. The 15 year old from Horseheads has been racing
since he was 10. He started racing go Karts and had a very
successful start, racing at Cooks and Moes Karting tracks,
Nick would win 9 out of 14 features in his first year. I
have to say he showed me some serious talent says Nicks
father Bill Morich who also says Nick has worked very hard
to get where he is today.
Nicks talent and desire took father and son on a trip to South Carolina
where they looked at and purchased an INEX Bandolero. At the
age of 12, Nick would begin racing the Bandolero at the
Chemung Speedrome. In 2013 Nick ran the entire season at
Chemung and in a very close battle, he would win the track
Championship in the Bandolero over close competitor and
friend David French. Full Story

Returns to Chemung for 2014
by Ray Hodge
.
With the ongoing changes for the 2014 season at the Chemung Speedrome,
long time race Announcer Carol Houssock will make her return
and be the voice of the Chemung Speedrome in 2014. Carol has
spent the last several years as the track Announcer at the
Clinton County Speedway on Friday nights and on Saturday
nights as the Co Announcer at Shangri-La 2, filling in for
long time Race Announcer Al Robinson who is recovering from
a stroke. After some changes at Clinton County and the
opportunity becoming available at Chemung, Carol made the
difficult choice to not return to Clinton County and start
her 20th season as a track Announcer at the Chemung
Speedrome, the track she called home for many years.
Houssock says she is very excited to return home to Chemung
and be reunited with Dano Williams as the Co Announcer for
2014. Full Story
January 3rd, 2014 Zacharias
Dedicates Championship Season To Grandmother
by Ray Hodge
.
For the first time in his racing career, Jimmy Zacharias would start his
racing season without the presence of his grandmother by his
side. Shirley Zacharias lost her courageous battle with
cancer just months before the 2013 season began. That loss
would leave a large void for the entire Zacharias family and
with that emptiness, Jimmy would dedicate his entire season
to his rock, Grandmother Shirley Zacharias.
Coming up just a few points short of a championship at Chemung in 2012,
Jimmy would come back and dominate the entire 2013 season in
the Sunoco Modified division. His season started in the
warmth of Florida as he would run the Whelen modified tour
race at the Daytona international speedway in February. A
tough finish there would send Jimmy and crew back to New
York to begin his run towards a Chemung title as well as
running for the New York State championship. Full Story

Looking Ahead To 2014 With Off Season Improvements
by Ray Hodge
. A great 2013 season came to an end at the track Championship Banquet in
November. Track owner John White, very happy with the 2013
season is already looking ahead to the 2014 season with some
big Improvements at the track during the off season.
A brand new 40 by 60 foot multi-purpose Tech and Storage building has
been completed. The building is located outside of turn 3
and 4 in the Legend pit area. The building is a much needed
addition to the Speedrome and will be put to work right away
in 2014. The 16 foot high building was originally slated to
be erected in the infield but after a lot of consideration,
the plan was changed to put the building outside of the
track so that fans would still have an open view of the
entire track. Full Story
