Michael McGee made a bold move and put his own Led Schneppelin on the front of the Maine Amateur Drivers Club (MADC) race Saturday (June 5) at Cumberland. The move turned out to be the right one and, despite having several competitors try to puncture his lead, the 10-year-old son of Memphis Flash held off all would-be conquerors to capture the $4,200 event in 1:59.3.
First it was 83-year-old Robert Nadeau who tried to stick Putnams Storm’s nose in front while some confusion reined in the back of the pack. Pulling first over going to the half, the five-year-old son of A Rocknroll Dance was turned away by a determined McGee and Led Schnepelin.
