Amici,
The SCCA Washington D.C. region last year started a program of documenting a
large collection of photos, programs and literature dealing with Marlboro
Speedway. This collection was generously donated by region member. Marlboro
Speedway was located in Upper Marlboro and was the local track of the D.C.
region for many years before Summit Point was built.
The second documentation / reunion meeting, which is closed to the public,
will take place on Sunday July 13th. However, there will be a free open to the
public car show on Saturday the 12th at Surreybrooke Gardens in Fredrick
Maryland. Steve Lloyd is the DC region historian and the person in charge of
the car show. Steve is looking for vintage race cars to attend the show. I
think Steve is also planning some sort of Marlboro presentation for the car
show as well. So if there are any FOTers that would like to show off their TR
in front of the public give Steve an email at wdcrhistory@comcast.net. The
car show will be announced in the D.C. region's newsletter and web site.
I know that there will be a group of past TR racers showing up that weekend.
If any of you have read about "The Manor Boys" in Kas' latest book, come out
and meet them in person. I know that at least three of them will be there. I
am sure there will be a gathering of some sorts Saturday evening. I am
planning to be there the whole weekend.
For those who don't know, my Dad was the track announcer at Marlboro for my
years in the early and mid '60s.
Thumbs Up!
Steve Benford Jr.
