This is how
Danny's Speed Bowl looked in June, 2004 when Ernie Pothier visited
it.
Danny's opened in 1967 and closed at the end of the 1984 season.
Like many tracks in the Maritimes, Ernie MacLean was the promoter
at one time. It was owned by Robert DeGrace in the later years.
Mark Dumaresq was the promoter in 1984.
The track used the promotional tag of "The Action Track of
the East" and raced Saturday nights. The pits were located
behind the back straight.
As can be seen from the photos, the track is very overgrown with
fairly large trees growing through the track surface. Ernie found
a lot of car parts in the pit area, some lighting, remains of a
pit shack and spectator concessions and possible parts of the grandstand.
If anyone has any more information on Danny's Speed Bowl - photos,
