Coupes head for the pit entrance 
at Northeastern Speedway. Cho Lee says there is a still an arrow 
visible on the front stretch wall 
that pointed out the pit entrance 
to the drivers.

 

   

 

     

    One of the most influential tracks in the formation of the personality of Catamount Stadium was Northeastern Speedway, located way up in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont - near St. Johnsbury - in Lower Waterford. Being a paved track in an era of dirt ovals, Northeast Speedway was one of the direct predecessors of  Barre, Vermont's Thunder Road - the parent track of Catamount Stadium.

A B Class field starts out, which includes 2, Jerry Bigelow, Bill White's #4 Studebaker, and an Elms car on the outside of White.

    A few of the very early stars on the Catamount third mile were veterans who had begun around Northeastern Speedway and had subsequently starred at Thunder Road.
