Join Steve Pellerin as he discusses the Beech Ridge Speedway, a now-defunct 1/3-mile asphalt track in Scarborough, Maine. The track was opened in 1940 by Jim McConnell, an airplane mechanic. In 1981, it was purchased by the Cusack family and became a NASCAR-sanctioned track in 1995.

Several vendors at this once-popular venue hailed from Windham and a few of them were outstanding. Steve will discuss some of these drivers and he will also include pictures and a screen presentation from the track in its glory days. You won’t want to miss this exciting look at one of Maine’s beloved attractions that is no longer here to enjoy. The program is free. Light refreshments will be served. Donations are always welcome.
