It has grown into one of the northeast’s premier mid-week motorsports series. The basic premises of the Waterford Speedbowl’s Wild n’ Wacky Wednesday program has not, however, changed. It’s economics at both the front (grandstand) and back (pits) gates.

Designed for the family, it remains an entertainment bargain with a $7.00 adult ticket.

Wild n’ Wacky Wednesday begins its eighth season May 7. The menu remains Legends, X-Cars (four cylinders), Super X Cars (eight cylinders) and X-Modifieds. Led by defending champions – Jason Palmer (Legends), Brad Vogelsong (X-Cars), John Yagmin (Super X) and Bubby Brouwer (X-Mods), the rosters are very strong.

The grandstands open at 5 PM and racing starts at 7. The season runs through Sept. 3 and includes three Women on Wheels (WOW) events along with visits by the New England Antique Racers and the Northeastern Midget Association’s new “Lites” division. There’s the usual “wacky” stuff as well – musical chairs, toll booth races, flag pole races, etc.
