NEWS & UPDATES
May 14 - Sorry about the lack of movement on the site. We were on vacation. My wife and I needed it badly enough for me to willingly miss the first four local races of the season. I did not get to supply Ken Squier with a list of racing people who passed since the end of the past season, an announcement he usually makes at the opening Thunder Road show. Hence, I will place this list on here this one time for those who are concerned and interested in such information. This is the list, as I have been informed:
Bardwell, Buddy - Hall of Fame NH driver Moe Brown - car owner and other prominent racing roles Cozze, Dick - Hall of Fame car owner and father of Frank
Farnsworth, Ira - driver, flagger, and twin brother of Rollover Ronnie Farnwworth Field, Rejean [Berard] - accomplished Quebec driver
Fusco, Andy - journalist and good friend Gates, Jimmy - Catamount and T Road Flying Tiger driver
LaQuerre, Joey - up and coming ACT star MIschler, Wesley - crew member for Vic Wolfe and official Morse, Dave - journalist and friend of Ken Sqauier
Ody, Danny - driver and racing historian
Owen, Gordy - 1950's star in New England
Jolly Ollie Palmer - 1950's Driver from NY
Savoie, Bob - Hall of Fame NY modified driver Tetreault, Gene - NY Hall of Fame driver from VT Vogel, Ted, Jr. - driver and car owner
White, Ron - Ron Proctor's crew chief
Charlie Wilbur - VT dirt modified driver
With any luck, I will get out one of my blogs tonight. Hooray ! We now have Weekly Blog May 14, 2015 - Best Performances in a Forgotten League. [All Star League]
May 26
- Hope to have another blog up soon. Between the fact that summer is full
of little honey dew jobs and the fact that I'm not getting much new info these
days, there hasn't been much to update the site with lately. Thanks for checking
in.
May 27
- Here's the next blog
Weekly Bog May 27, 2015. I had prepared it [about Emily Packard and those
whosecame before her] over a year ago.
May 29 - Sadly, I have to add the name of Oliver "Jolly Ollie" Palmer to the list of people we have lost lately Palmer was from the Albany areand I first saw him with his car #J-O at Pico Raceway. He was a Pine Bowl driver and he drove Bill Folwer's 27Jr at Fonda. I have also added a new page on the beautiful Vince Barbuto coupe that ran in thal te 1960's at places like Fonda and the Valley.

May 31 - Sadly, I have been advised to add the name of Charlie Wilbur to the list of people we have lost lately. Wilbur rose quickly in the ranks of dirt modified racing to be of championship status at Airborne in the `1980's.
