NEMA Lite’s Ryan Bigelow “Moving Up” for 2014
Northeastern Midget Association Lites standout Ryan Bigelow has announced his intention to move into the full NEMA division for the 2014 racing season. The East Hampton, Ct. native will be wheeling a newly acquired Beast chassis with Honda horsepower for the full NEMA schedule.
“I feel pure excitement about this move and can’t wait to start working with the new chassis.” Ryan goes on to say, “This plan has been three years in the making, and now everything is aligned to make the move.”
With the proven reliability of the Honda power plant Ryan is confident that he should be able to reach his 2014 goals of at least 1 win and possibly the NEMA rookie of the year honors.
This young 23 year old electrician is certainly no rookie when it comes to driving anything with four wheels. Starting out in 2000 with Go Karts at Whip City Speedway, he advanced to the Mini-Sprints division where he piled up seven years of experience perfecting his trade on that quarter mile oval.
His next move was to the NEMA Lites in 2010. Ryan claimed his first win at his favorite track (and home track) the Waterford Speedbowl on May 7, 2011 and another win at Seekonk Speedway later that year. Waterford was again good to Ryan in the 2012 season opener, where he grabbed his third career win.
With the help and support from sponsors Bigelow Electric and Trade Services as well as from his racing brothers Paul and Scott, we’ll expect big things from Ryan Bigelow as he’s “Moving up for 2014.”
