Paul Laffond

Mini Stock #47

Paul Laffond races a flashy purple car# 47 in the Mini Stock Division. He has raced for 7 years winning one championship. His favorite track is New Cannon because it is fast and smooth. Paul races once weekly and works an additional 8 hours weekly on his car and is the car owner.

The 2003 racing season was good for Paul. He raced to 4 wins and was the season point leader to take the Monadnock Speedway Championship in the Mini Stock Division

Fun, nice people and the challenge are the reasons Paul races. His most challenging race was last season when he passed Harry Germain on turn 4 and won.

Wife Karen and Crew Chief Tim Day are Paul’s support team. Paul sells parts at a GM dealership and is a family man with 2 Stepchildren, Denise and Kelly and 2 Grandchildren, Faith and Aaron.
