Big Daddy’s Speedbowl
The word is spreading about the rejuvenated Big Daddy’s Speedbowl in Wentworth, NH. A whole lot of racing gets packed into a busy afternoon every Sunday. Fans can watch great racing at a state-of-the-art facility and be on the road home before dark.
On Moses Family Memorial night at Big Daddy’s, fans saw some especially good racing and they also saw some racing history. A number of the famous racing coupes from the sixties and seventies came by for a visit. It was a big thrill to see restored race cars made famous by Ralph Stygles, Brother Eastman, John Bucklin, and others out on the track taking laps. At the show held before races, models and old photos were on display.
