NEWS & UPDATES

Latest Update

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.
