New London-Waterford Speedbowl — Local services in Waterford

I'd never been to a race in my life, wasn't a huge racing fan. Wasn't really a fan at all. Like how many times can you watch cars go around an oval? But my boyfriend is a HUGE racing fan, so he took me to the Speedbowl because he frequents it. Turns out, I do enjoy it, it's so much more than cars going around an oval. I'm not a huge fan like him, but I join him most weeks and have a good time. The people are great, the events are entertaining. I prefer Wacky Wednesdays because they're wacky, and the big wheel races in between the main events are adorable. The facility is dated. The bleachers are old. The whole place needs some updating. But you're not going there for a Fenway Park experience, you're going there because you love the sport, you love the people, you love the cars, and that can be felt there. The food and drinks are no better or worse than any other sporting event. I did buy some reusable earplugs and bleacher seats on Amazon, because cars are loud and bleachers are hard if you're there all day.

As a long time resident (and new customer), I feel the need to write a review of the speedbowl. This track, for many months has served as a fun, safe and clean atmosphere for some Saturday night fun for myself and friends. Nothing beats a fun night at the racetrack, surrounded by howeling fans, as cars battle it out for first place. When I learned about the recent new ownership, I see hope for the speedbowls future. The food is great and the prices are reasonable. I would much rather spend money here to support the future development of the track then spend money at six flags or the movies. Countless times, you can even see the same fans in the audience, as these are repeat customers, who are near and dear to the speedbowl. God knows we all want to see another season at the Speecbowl!...

Quite a few improvements made. Gone are the rickety red bleachers and concession stands. The entire track area has been repaved cleaned and new concession are planned. For now they're using food trucks which serves the purpose however next year there are plans for a permanent concession area The old red bleachers are gone, replaced with new aluminum bleachers and they look great Some of the employees seemed somewhat humbled by the past but ready to move foward to bigger and better things and a brand new experience at the track. It's nice to see them back in business and their appreciation of fans that have chosen too return. One heads-up, at the time, entrance is cash-only and there isn't an ATM onsite, however the onsite food trucks do accept both cash and cards....
