Anyway, I used to love going there. It was my first ever drag racing experience. I remember pouring bleach behind the slicks in the waterbox LOL. Man that was a long time ago...

Let me guess, Manny. You're from the Fall River or New Bedford area?

Your close. My Dad grew up in Bristol, RI. He moved to Warwick and that is where I grew up.

Thanks for the awesome Connecticut pics....Anyone here remember a guy named Ralph Ridgeway who ran a blk/white '55 Chevy C/Modified Production car there and pretty much the rest of the tracks on the eastern seaboard? That car was 1 of the best C/MP cars in the country, bar none. WJ
