On a cloudy Saturday afternoon, the first annual Three Nation’s Cup golf challenge began at the Malone Golf Club, pitting the American, Canadian members versus the Mohawk members of the club. The brainchild of the tournament began after Mike Mitchell and Steve Thomas, both long-term members of the club, played in the annual Can Am tournament pitting the Americans members versus the Canadian members of the club. Seeing the opportunity to further the status of the Mohawk Members at the club, a p...
The Mohawk International Raceway track crews spent many hours this week on the racing surface. When it came race time the track was as smooth as glass and with the Empire Super Sprints in town. It sure made for another night of great racing action. The DIRTcar 358 Modifieds took center stage on Saratoga Eagles night. Mike Perrotte and Roy Delormier led the field to Austin Swamp’s green flag with 4 time track champion Perrotte getting the early advantage. It didn’t take long for the first caution to be displayed as Perry Francis broke a front en...
