- In the mid-1970s my tastes were developed at a Saturday night grassroots speedway, the Danbury Fair Racearena in Connecticut. When a boy is on summer vacation the world is a beautiful place. After a successful completion of first grade there was a lot more time for fun and visiting with friends and family.
- A heat race from 1981 at the Danbury Racearena. Others knew it as The Danbury Fair Speedway. This stockcar event was one of the last races held at the Danbur.

- He was the youngest driver in the history of the Southern New York Racing Association, and raced at the old Danbury Racearena. He continued racing after he, his wife Martha, and their four.
My second lifetime Connecticut track visit – 1980. I didn’t begin writing my famous Trackchaser Reports until about track #430. Ms Office 2003 Professional Keygen Music. With the Danbury Racearena being just track #76 (that’s more than 2,200 tracks ago as this is written!) my memory is somewhat foggy on this one. I did go to Danbury twice in 1980 and once in 1981.
I saw Bob Riley win the first time I went there. The second time I was rained out after the heat races. During my only visit in 1981 Bob Riley in the #66 won again. My limited notes remind me “the crowds were huge and the racing was fair”. Most people think of me as a “West Coast” trackchaser. Lots of folks don’t know that we were transferred around a good bit as I climbed the rungs of the corporate ladder. Following the 1979 Knoxville Nationals (won my Ronnie Shuman – above) we moved from Mission Viejo, California to Ridgefield, Connecticut.
Despite living on the east coast for 18 months I never joined the “Dreaded East Coast Trackchasers”. One has to have morals right? Our home in Ridgefield was just 10.4 miles from the Danbury Racearena. You would have thought I would have driven my brand new fire engine red Cadillac Sedan Deville to the Danbury oval more than three times when the track was just ten miles from our house.
However, the Orange County Fair Speedway in Middletown, New York was considered our “home” track during our brief period of Connecticut residence. The Orange County Fair Speedway was 59.5 miles from our place in Ridgefield. However, it was a dirt track. I prefer dirt tracks over paved tracks.most of the time. In 1980 I went to the OCFS four times and returned again in 2011.
Names like Chick Stockwell, Jimmy Smith and Don LaJoie (above) were the primary champions over the years at Danbury. The Southern New York Racing Association (remember Danbury was in Connecticut!) crowned their first Danbury Racearena champion in 1950. The track was a tight 1/3-mile asphalt oval. Espressoid Keygen For Mac.
