Hi. I've been trying to let everyone know when I find another website that deals with Northern New England small-track racing, and here's another one. It's called NH Short Track Heroes, and here's the link:

I'll also put the link on the side of this page. Enjoy!

Git-Tar's website
. . . AND ANOTHER!
There I was, raving on about George Hill's new webpage on local racing, and then couldn't find the glowing review I wrote on Billy "Git-tar" Moses' page. And no wonder . . . I hadn't written it yet! Heck, it's been around for months now, and I really, really meant to tell you about it . . . so now I will. Sorry, Bill.
First, the link, which I'll also put on the side:
http://geetarsjalopyjunkies.weebly.com/
Bill's nickname comes, of course, from the fact that he is 1) one of the finer Country/Rock pickers in these parts, and 2) he is the son of the late, great Dusty Moses, who was another one. And of course, they both raced stock cars, too.
Billy's page centers around the Rumney track and its various incarnations, but that in itself means it's connected to everything else past and present in the area. No track is an island, after all. And, he carries a lot of news as well as a lot of history. Like George Hill, Billy has done a lot of work on this page and you're really going to enjoy it.
He gets his photos mostly from his own massive archive dating back through the decades. Although I'm sure he'd be most happy to take a look at anything you want to share with the World Wide Web. (For that matter, so would I.)
He does regular updates and has features like a Driver of the Month article (this month is Bobby Webber, the new flagman at Big Daddy's, who also used to race) and racing families.
So check out the Gee-tar man's Jalopy Junkie nostalgia report at your earliest convenience. You'll be glad you did.

Another Link
ANOTHER NEW BLOG
Tickled to death to see another new webpage on local racing. This one is put together by no less than George Hill, who used to drive the 38 Special at the Nor-Way Pines, and was a teammate of Royal Moses. It's called NH Short Track Heroes, and the link to it is over there on the side. Just in case:
http://nhshorttrackheroes.weebly.com/index.html
There. Don't say you couldn't find it.
It's a good one, too. George has taken the time and done the legwork, and it really shows. It's an impressive effort, of the type I wish I could have done here. I am so glad that so many people have gone to the trouble to preserve the history of racing in the Northeast and in New Hampshire in particular. Thanks from the bottom of my heart to George, Billy Moses, and everybody who has opened their hearts, their memories, and their photo albums to each of us.
Which reminds me; Ralph Stygles loaned his photos to George, so you're going to start seeing those on his website soon if not already. And I'm sure he'd be grateful to anyone who can identify some of the people, cars, and places that he's having trouble with.
For example, there's a photo on the Legion Bowl page of a purple five-window coupe, number 574? That is Tommy Richardson of Canaan, NH. You're welcome. I might have a couple more for ya, too.
So with another racing season beginning, and me being involved at the Big Daddy Speedbowl in Wentworth, I'm going to try real hard to post more stuff here. I think I've about used up all the decent pictures that I've got, so I'll let Billy and George take care of that end and just share my boring stories.

Catamount Stadium
http://www.catamountstadium.com/
Found another cool link. This is the website that belongs to the fellow that writes the column I've referred to from The Racin' Paper, Bill Ladabouche. It's a tribute to a track near his home, Catamount Stadium. I can remember drivers, etc. referring to this track. The impression they gave to me as a boy was that, if you were a serious racer and thought you could run with the big dogs, you were going to leave whatever little bullring you were currently toiling at and head for Catamount.

Bill's Back In Time
Found it.
The column I referred to before is "Bill's Back In Time," by Bill Ladabouche. It appears to be a regular feature in The Racin' Paper, and in my humble opinion it's a darned good one.
There's another very good site concerning the history of racing in New England, from more of a Maine perspective. http://www.wickedgoodracing.com/ is definitely worth checking out.
See ya.

The Racin' Paper
http://www.racinpaper.com/site/index.php
This is just to let you know about an excellent website and newspaper, called The Racin' Paper, that covers racing all over the region. As good as the site is, it's also good to pick up a copy of the paper. If you're into the history of the sport there's an excellent column that takes a look back. Unfortunately I left my newest copy at the track, but if you pick up the latest issue you'll be sure to find it.
