| The
Tanguay brothers - Bob and Larry - raced their way into the
Beech Ridge Speedway history books as one of the track's most
notable and successful sibling drivers.
Both drivers
created marked careers for themselves on the track, while
simultaneously epitomizing and enjoying the family sport for
which auto racing is known.
Larry won
three track championships at Beech Ridge. His first two titles
occurred in the 'C' Class five years apart - 1965 and 1970 (a
tie). Into the 1970's, Larry competed in the 'B' Class driving
the #V8 Willy's coupe built by himself and brother Bob.
After a brief
hiatus from racing, Larry returned to the driver's seat behind
the wheel of the Coutermarsh #61 Modified and won the 1982
division championship.
Bob won his
only track championship in the 'C' Class three years after his
brother won his first (1965). Bob shared the driving duties of
the family #V8 with Larry before eventually racing the coupe
full time.
Bob and Larry
both reside in Windham with their respective families. |
