SARATOGA SPRINGS—The annual Racing Memories program will take place at the Saratoga Automobile Museum on Saturday, Nov. 30.
The popular program, formerly titled Lost Speedways, will fill the museum with racing enthusiasts, drivers, memorabilia collectors and at least one well-known promoter. As a bonus, attendees will be among the first to view the newly opened Golub Gallery exhibit “Evolution of Performance and Design.”
Event organizer Ron Hedge said Ken Parrotte will provide a look at a great era of the Indianapolis 500 and Mark Supley, the ‘Motorcycle Guy,’ will offer a segment on side-car racing. Racing historian Herb Anastor will talk about the fabled Formula Libre race at Lime Rock Park where Rodger Ward beat the world’s best sports car racers with Ken Brenn’s midget, and Keith Majka will display a restored Brenn midget, for road racing enthusiast and oval racing fan alike, can check it out.
Popular drivers Brian Ross, Phil Spiak, Nick Ronca and Jack Halloran will take part in a panel discussion of the early NASCAR era at the then newly opened asphalt Albany-Saratoga Speedway.
Admission for the event can be secured at: www.saratogaautomuseum.org or at the door. Museum members are free.
The Saratoga Automobile Museum is located on the Avenue of the Pines in the Saratoga Spa State Park. Doors open at 10 a.m. with the formal presentations set to begin at 11:45.
