Auto Racing At The Airport
Yep, you read it right. Back in the 50's there was actually a race at the Hagerstown Airport. The race course was on the runways.
William ( Bill ) Stoler, originally from State Line, PA and now lives in Greencastle, PA will present the program. Bill will revisit the long-forgotten story of the East Coast's largest sports car racing event of 1955. Sponsored by the Fairchild Employees Recreation Association ( FERA ), the races were held on the runways of the Hagerstown Municipal Airport. The event brought about 15,000 spectators and more than 200 drivers to Hagerstown. Despite its tremendous success and popularity, the race was never held again.
Come and join us for an interesting program and enjoyable snacks!
