Pat Broderick Racing

Twenty four hours until we hit the track!!. Talked to our chassis builder today and we are going to make a gear change prior to tomorrows practice. Change the oil, change the gear, adjust the belts and add the new chain and we are set to go racing.

Two days to go until our first practice. The car is taking shape nicely. The chassis has been officially set up and the body panels have been reinstalled. Just a few minor details left such as changing the oil and adjusting the safety belts and we are off racing.

Just three days left until the car hits the track for our first practice. We are scheduled to test at Whip City Speedway in Westfield Mass on May 1st. Still have a bit of car work left to do including some final assembly, but we should ready to run on the first.

And yes there are other famous Broderick’s in this racing clan. Brian Broderick is the youngest son of Pat Sr. Brian’s racing resume is long and diverse. Brian has scored wins on both dirt and asphalt. Brian drove the car number 454 to victory lane at Lebanon Valley Speedway in New York State. Brian has also taken the checkered flag at the old Riverside Park Speedway. Photos of Brian with the checkered flag will be posted as soon as “blogger” allows for upgrades. In addition to being a victorious driver Brian has helped crew cars that have run from Thompson Speedway to Stafford Speedway. Brian has also been a major force in supporting Pat Jr’s racing efforts from his rookie days to his current sprint car efforts. Without his support the team would not be where it is today.

One of the questions I get asked the most is “Am I related to that ‘other’ Broderick”. Well the answer is yes. Pat Broderick Sr. is well known for working on cars that have run throughout New England, New York and in fact the entire country. Pat Sr has been involved in working on and advising a wide variety of racing machines and teams. From Formula V’s to DIRT and asphalt modifieds, to home built cars, Pat Sr. has had his hands and input on all of them and more. Pat Sr has helped many, many cars, drivers and teams achieve a wide range of racing goals including victories. In addition to his “wrenching” skills many people are familiar with Pat Sr. from his racing days as a driver. Pat Sr was a New England racing regular in the 1960's competing against, passing, and out engineering New England’s best. We are proud to have him as part of our team.
