Most Memorable Night!

Mon Sep 01, 2008 8:45 am by Admin



Lots of candidates toss around in my mind about the most memorable night at the Racearena.
The most obvious choice is the night Ted Abbott died. Not a very happy moment and one we'd like to
forget, but it was something we won't forget. BTW, I'll say it even though nobody does, LeBlanc caused that one.

Another was the night Danny Gallulu wrecked all the top runners, one at a time and very meticulously
during the feature. Remember …

It feels like it was yesterday that I was at the Danbury Fair Racearena cheering on my favorite driver.

The one driver who always got the most cheers has recently experienced a great loss.
Charles "Chick" Stockwell, 80, who was voted most popular driver six
times, 1976 to 1981, lost almost everything when …[/img(400px,250px):24c2]

Big Ev & the 2009 Reunion.

Thu Jul 23, 2009 7:11 am by Admin





DANBURY -- Behind a table in the back of the O'Neill Center, former racecar driver Evie Pierce sat in a wheelchair, his wife Margie always close by his side. Gradually, everyone in the arena -- there for the Southern New York Racing Association's eighth-annual reunion -- came over to shake his hand.

First trips to the Racearena Stories...

Sun Apr 19, 2009 6:14 am by kaptainsteve

My father started take us to the races, begrudgedly, in the early 70's and hated every second of the noise, smoke, beer and crazy people that later we would come to love.
