Mid-Season Shootout at Big Daddy’s Speedbowl
The best-kept secret in family entertainment is Big Daddy’s Speedbowl and that’s because we race on Sunday afternoons. Race fans are used to events running late into the night and then driving home. At Big Daddy’s on the Fourth of July, the extra-length, double-points features for the Ryzak Oil And Propane Mid-Season Shootout finished at 8:15!

Captain Bruce Morrill’s Company of colonial artillery from Franklin, NH opened the day with a 21 gun salute fired from their replica black powder cannons.
