TORPEDO TOM FECTEAU
ESTABLISHES EPIC VENTURES MOTORSPORTS GROUP
After 45 years of being a fan, a crew member on
several teams, and most recently an on again off again
driver and car owner, Torpedo Tom Fecteau has
committed to taking a more serious approach to his
love for racing in 2007 with the creation of Epic
Ventures Motorsports Group. The name Epic Ventures
parallels Tom's determination to reach for some lofty
racing goals this season. The team's main focus will
be at the fast and exciting Spencer Speedway, Route
104 Williamson, NY. Tom will be striving for the SST
Rookie of the Year honors with the team's #50 1994
Troyer chassis. But that isn't enough to deserve the
name Epic Ventures.
Tom has been able to
take a growing involvement with ROC Modified driver
Terry Cheetham and his father Doug Cheetham by
combining their resources to field a second SST
Modified for Terry. Terry will have a 1996 Troyer
Chassis with a new TW Machine (Fairport, NY) power
plant to go after the SST Track Championship.
In addition, Epic
Ventures will continue to play a support role in
Terry's #11 ROC Modified efforts. With several nights
planned to have all three cars in competition, we are
looking to expand our race night personnel roster
through the return of some past teammates. In
addition, we are interested in meeting some new faces
whether experienced and looking for a new challenge or
starting out and willing to be shown the ropes.
Currently all the
equipment is located in Sodus, NY under the care of
Terry and Doug. During the season, Tom's equipment
will be maintained out of a race shop in the Syracuse
area he shares with ROC Modified Rookie Doug Reaume
and Oswego Speedway Small Block Supermodified Veteran
Bill Moore.
We are all thrilled
with what has been created in the off season and look
forward to being part of a more exciting racing show
at Spencer Speedway this season.
