Paging John R, racing history question

Post by sachilles »

Why do I think you might have some tidbits of info about this long lost drag strip?

Because my brain overflows with every sort of information except how to make money....

The good info:
My late friend Bill McBride went to Milton a time or 2, as well as to the strip at Glens Falls. Drove his friend's ( "D/Stock"?) Mopar a couple times, with the electric fuel pump hidden in the console (!), did see Shirley's dragster, as well as a dragster called The Vermontster. Shirley? " A hell of a driver, but she was no lady!"

The "you're on your own with this one" info: Dave Richmond claims to have seen Art Arfons run the Green Monster at Milton.

The old Norwood Arena had a dragstrip next door, as well. The somewhat notorious Orange (MA) Airport hosted drags in the 60's. There was an attempt at a revival in the 90's - I think Sherm told me about running his drag bike there at the 1 race they ran.
