| When Harvey Tattersall
Jr's United Racing took over the sanctioning operations at the Waterford Speedbowl
in
1975, there were many changes at the shoreline oval - one of which was
the track's inclusion in a 6 event Modified open competition series to
be run along with the
Thompson
International Speedway and Star
Speedway.
Each track would host (2) 50-lap feature events with competitors
receiving purse money and points for each race, and an eventual Yankee
All Star League Champion
crowned at series' end.
This
format remained unchanged through the first three years, although four
straight rainouts in 1977 shortened the series to only 4 races. The
series' final season in 1978 saw major changes to the format as four
more tracks joined the circuit -
Stafford Motor
Speedway,
Westboro
Speedway,
Seekonk Speedway and Monadnock
Speedway.
Although the series expanded to 7 races total and the race distances
doubled to 100 laps, each track would now host only 1 event.
