WATERFORD SPEEDBOWL

On Saturday September 8^th and 9^th Star made their appearance at Waterford Speedbowl in Waterford, CT.  Saturday was a static display for Star as they parked on the midway for the fans.  The weather was questionable as rain and high winds were predicted.  It was raining all around the Bowl but luckily missed the Bowl letting the races get in that evening.

On Sunday Waterford Speedbowl held a special show “Motor Jam” Ct’s largest custom car, truck and bike show hosted by radio station Jammin 107.7.  There was activity on the midway with bands, in the parking lots were beautiful classic cars, trucks, and bikes and on the track there was racing and burn outs, something for everyone. 

It was great to see the crowd flood in from the car show as they heard the stock cars on the track.  The stands were filled with fans to see the vintage cars and other shows on the track.  Stars’ day was practice first then on to a heat race where John Mulcany from Ma in his #57 Mustang and Charlie Lima from Ma in the #10 Pinto diced it up to see who would take down the heat race.   Ed Mulligan from RI in the #61 and Rick MacDowell from Ma in the #76 Pinto were right behind the leaders.  When the checkered came down it was Mulcany to take the heat win with Lima taking a second and Mulligan topping off the pack with a third.  At feature race time Star ran a “race within a race”  Sportsmen and Modifieds running together.  Steve Zukowski from Ct in the #53 and Thomas Beauregard from Ct in the #51 Pinto lead lap after lap until Charlie Lima in the #10 made his pass on the outside to take over first place with Ed Mulligan in the #61 following Lima to slot into second place.  The Sportsmen were dicing it up as Bob Seward from Ma in the #69B coupe and Rick MacDowell from Ma in the #76 Camero were changing positions from first to second lap after lap.  Ron DaRos from Ct in the #213 sedan closed in on Seward and MacDowell.  When the checkered flags came down it was on Charlie Lima in the #10 to take the victory for the Modifieds.  Ed Mulligan in the #61 crossed over to take a second and to top off the modifieds with a third was Steve Zukowski in the #53.  In the Sportsman it was Bob Seward in the #69B to that the victory for the Sportsman.  Rick MacDowell in the #76 took a very close second and Ron DaRos finished off the pack with a third.

Both winners were brought to victory lane for pictures and awarded with trophies.

Star would like to thank Waterford Speedbowl for a great day of racing and fun.
