Re: New York Drag Strips
Paul:
Thanks for posting the name of the road that Dover was located on.
Not sure I ever knew what the name was.
I always remember the guy from the state mental hospital standing on the side of the road directing traffic and letting every one know where to turn left.
Dover was the place to be every Sunday for many of us and the drive from Stamford to Dover was about 52 miles back in those day's because we went out through the Pound Ridge area to Bedford and then up route 22 to Wingdale.
I had family that lived in Dover Plains for years and instead of turning left onto the road where Dover Drag Strip was located it you continued north on 22 on the left was an area known as Onion Town which I was always warned you do not go up in that area for any reason.
Did you know about the history of Onion Town?
