(January 14, 2021) The 2020 statistical updates to speedbowlhistory.com have been completed, which includes our annual addition of the previous season’s statistics in both the Almanac and Record Book pages. Pics from the 2020 season have also been added to the Almanac and Track Champions. Here are some of the other new additions we’ve made to the site this off-season:
- ALMANAC PAGES CONSOLIDATED – All feature winners (and time trial winners) for each season are now listed on a single webpage.
- Previously, there were individual pages for Sat, Wed, Touring and Time Trial winners.
- ANYONE WHO LINKS TO OUR PAGES may want to check those hyperlinks as we’ve had to change or delete some URL’s in order to consolidate our pages.
- We’ve eliminated over 150 pages in the Almanac section in hopes to make browsing the stats from each year more user friendly.
- The 4 pages for each season in the Almanac are now:
- Year in Review
- Feature Winners
- Points & Win Totals
- Awards & Honors
- OWNER POINT STANDINGS – The Speedbowl kept separate point standings and honored separate champions for car owners up until 1995. These standings have been added to the Points & Win Totals pages in every season in the Almanac 1951-1994.
- OWNER CHAMPIONS – We’ve also added Owner Champions in the banquet sections of each Awards & Honors pages in the Almanac. This would be the car owner(s) who led the final owner point standings from 1951-1994 and the car owner of the (driver) Track Champion from 1995-present.
- RECORD BOOK SECTION RE-ORGANIZED There are now 6 different categories in the Record Book section of our site:
- Career Wins
- Feature Win Records
- Season Records
- Championship Records
- Division Records
- Time Trial Records
Use the Main Menu drop-downs under Record Book to explore all the different statistical categories.
- NEW RECORD BOOK CATEGORIES
- Highest Win % in a Season (Feature Win Records section)

- NEW PHOTOS – In addition to the 2020 pics, we’ve replaced many photos throughout the site in the following areas:
- Banner photos for every page on the website (Almanac, Record Books, Special Features)
- New pics from each season’s Year in Review pages
- Banquet photos from several seasons in the Awards & Honors pages
- SPEEDBOWL DOC SHORTS – links to these video segments, taken from the Speedbowl Doc Series films, have been added to the Years in Review pages throughout the Almanac.
- HOMEPAGE UPDATES – we’ve created several thumbnail links to some of the pages with the most traffic:
- CAREER WINS for every division, touring series and the Overall Career Wins List
- 2020 UPDATES for the new pages in the Almanac
- RECORD BOOK UPDATES for all the records that have been significantly updated with 2020 statistics.
- SPECIAL FEATURES
- We’ve added at page for the Wings N’ Wheels event that was held from 2008-2018 with event history and winners in each division/touring series.
We hope all of these revisions make it easier for racing media and Speedbowl fans alike to browse the history of the Speedbowl more easily, and provide some new & interesting content on the shoreline oval. We will be sharing pages from the site on a daily basis via our Facebook page. Be sure to like our page to get a daily dose of Speedbowl nostalgia.
