I grew up in Norwich as well and went to the CT dragway, but it was in the 60s. There are still some New Breed guys racing-the car in my avatar is my comp car that Lee Zane drives (#5 and 9 the lat tow years nationally and second in D1 both years)-last year we were at brainerd-spun the tires all weekend-don't know if we'll go again, but look for us-my partner is Al Ackerman and he has an F/D-he made it to the finals in comp a few years back at brainerd. Look for us and stop by if we are there.

Your both from "Noich" huh? No wonder you talk funny!

(to anyone not from the area-its a local sub-dialic--1/2 boston 1/2 bronx--the only word with a prononcible "R" is wash--as in "i'm gonna warsh the caa"

True. We've been talking about going there this winter, glad to hear you like it.

I live in Stafford. Another town with a racetrack, but it's round, not straight.

My father raced Super Stock at Connecticut Dragway in the 70's and early 80's. Though I was four when he sold his car in 1982, I spent some time in my early years there, and I have a couple of very foggy memories of the place. Connecticut Dragway is one of those things in life that makes me wish I was a little bit older.

You can still have 1/4 mile racing if you don't go get a hot dog after the fuel classes.

Andy- come down next Fri nite or Sunday afternoon-I'm in the blue #36 modlite. Jack Arute races there when not off doing TV.
It was good growing up near CIR-when i was young, i could talk my parents into bringing me-around age 12 i would just ride my bike up there + sneak in thru the woods As soon as i had anything thing worthy of running (1975 Yamaha rd 350) I was up there racing.

LOL, reminds me of Billy Dee from just north of Boston. He'll talk about how someone will "drawer" a rendering of a cah.

I read a few years ago what the code is on a New York accent. Just swap "uh" and "er" sounds at the end of any words. "The workuhs went out for pete-zer and vodker."

I told my girlfriend's mom (from Jersey) that and, I'm not kidding. Her reply was "I have no idear where they get that."
