Our 2nd Veteran Hall of Fame Inductee Charlie Webster
Charlie Webster a pioneer at the New London-Waterford Speedbowl, he was a winner in the track’s first 20 seasons from 1951 through his retirement in 1970. Three of his four championships came in the Non-Ford class (1956, ’58, ’59), and his 41 wins in that division will remain an unbeaten record.
He moved to the Modified division and won the 1966 title aboard the Fred Beaber “Checkerboard 716” during an eight-year stint in the car.
He retired midway through 1970 while driving for Billy Simons, winning the last two races he drove. His total of 77 wins still ranks among Waterford’s all-time top 10 list.
Sadly, Charlie is no longer with us. His Son Eric will accept his award here today.
