Who here remembers the old Freeport Stadium??
Was it Kedenburg and Donaldson as the promotors?
They raced 3 nights a week. Tuesday Friday Sat. I have an old program somewhere that was from that era.
The best part of the track was the 3rd 4th turn with the plywood wall!!!
I remember one night the cars were having a hard time not hitting the wall and ending up in the ball field behind it!! The bombers sure had a hard time that night. They would just go out of the track in 3 and come back in 4.
That place was neat, stadium lights, those big old cement bleachers. Wooden wall and tons of the old bombers to fill the place and modifieds. I'm 37 so this has to be more than 35 years ago we were there.
My grandmother once told me a story of how the whole family went to the track in suits and dresses after a wedding. As the were walking up the the bleachers they got a coating of mud as they started warm ups. Freeport actually started as a dirt track and you used to go to the races all dressed up!
