    Does anyone remember a speed shop in New Hampshire,late 70s early 80s, It was run by a guy named Brian Foley, It was located just off the traffic circle on rt1 at the Maine/New Hampshire line then he moved to the Dover area and I lost track of him, can't remember what the shop was called I would love to hook back up with him, any help appreciated.

    Pacesetters ? in Portsmouth.

    There was a place in Dover in the early 70's run by a guy named Ambrose, but I don't think that's the one that you want.
    Also a few years later there was a guy in Somersworth that ran a Texaco Station, who sold speed parts on the side. It would be across the road from where Wall Mart now sits.

    Brian closed up the shop some time ago.He still does swapmeets and Ebay. I don't know his user name there, might be able to get a contact ph no for him.

    Pacesetters Speed Shop was the very first speed shop I ever shopped at. I now live in California, but have fond memories of those early days of hot-rodding my cars in New Hampshire. (I lived in Dover and ran the Robbins Auto Parts machine shop in Portsmouth for a couple of years.) To this day, I still have my Pacesetters t-shirt as a momento. Photos from my faded, but not yet dead, t-shirt.

    Noreaster Speed was the name of Brian's shop. I bought my Wescott deuce phaeton body from him.
