The car has now returned from the paint shop after Clarence Coffey worked his magic on it. (see photos). Next, the car is headed for Ben Fearnley’s place to get the decalling and details put on. After that, the car itself is just about ready to go and we hope to have it on display at Kendall Patterson’s Meineke Car Care Centre, operated as JSM Family Auto Repair, Fredericton North.
The power plant isn’t in yet as the new engine from DC Racing engines in Houlton has not arrived yet. It should be here soon and then, LET”S GO RACING !!!

The 2010 race season is fast approaching, and Dave and the Team are hard at work getting ready for the new campaign. The car is looking good and everyone is hoping for a fast start out of the gate on Opening Day.

The 2009 season has now been archived in the “Archives” section of the site. Everything is there, including all the photos and videos from the past season

ABOUT DAVE

Dave was born in Woodstock, New Brunswick, the oldest of seven children. At age 17, Dave moved to Ontario and lived with his Aunt & Uncle. He started his Apprenticeship as an Automotive Mechanic at Centennial College in Scarborough, Ontario, and continued to live in Ontario for 13 years. Dave was involved for a number of years with a #70 race car, with his best friend, Bill Bunn at Sunset Speedway in Stroud, Ontario.
When Dave moved back to New Brunswick, he settled in Lake George, just west of Fredericton, and worked as a Licensed Mechanic in various automotive shops around the area, until starting up his own business at home in 1995.
In 1994 New Brunswick International Speedway started, and Dave knew if he walked down in the pits... that would be it... he would have to build his own car. He held off for a while, until his wife, Marilyn was asked to drive a friend’s street stock car in the Powder Puff in June 1997. Of course, Dave had to go down into the pits to help Marilyn get situated in Ronnie Fraser’s #96 street stock. Marilyn raced Ronnie’s #96 Street stock twice that year, and you guessed it, Dave Biggar’s #70 Street stock car the following year! Yup... that was all it took. Dave got the bug, and the winter of 1997-98, Dave and Greg Bennett, Ronnie Fraser and Jeff Szo built Dave’s first street stock #70 in Jeff Szo’s garage in Newmarket, New Brunswick. Dave started racing that next season of 1998 at New Brunswick International Speedway. Dave raced two years in the Street Stock division, with a 2^nd place podium finish in 1999, before moving up to the Sportsman division in 2000. Dave’s first sportsman car, he purchased from Shawn Warren. It was a Ford. Unfortunately, it got pretty twisted up the last race of the season, so the following winter, Dave, along with Bruce Gallagher, Gary Mullins, Rob Sloan, Greg Bennett, and Junior Stairs, built Dave’s second Sportsman car... the “big old Ford”. Unfortunately, that Ford never ran well at NBIS. It had a 114 inch wheel base, and the geometry of that car just wouldn’t work on the 1/3 mile oval of NBIS. The #70 Ford worked pretty well down at Centre for Speed in Shediac, but not NBIS. I believe that Dave was the first driver to hit the only piece of cement wall on New Brunswick International Speedway on August 11, 2001. That hurt. Dave also got “the hard luck driver” Award that year.
Dave raced that #70 Sportsman Ford four seasons from 2001 - 2004. Dave tried hard to get NBIS to change the chassis rule...so that Ford’s could get shortened to 108 inch wheel base like the GM metric chassis. NBIS wouldn’t hear of it! So, the following year of 2005, Dave had Shawn Tucker build him a Sportsman car on the GM chassis that the #70 sits on today. After racing the Pontiac #70 for a year, the track admitted that Dave Biggar had proved his point, and allowed the Ford chassis’s to either be shortened, or to put Ford power on a metric chassis! A little too late for Dave. However, Dave has never looked back in his rear view mirror. He won numerous qualifying “heat” races, as well as 10 lap points Dashes, and got “ the most Improved Driver Award” in 2005.
