"It's not him to just sit around.''Ĭhick Stockwell, now 80, started racing in his early 20s and raced until the Danbury Fair Racearena closed in 1981.Ī few of those cars he raced were at the picnic for public viewing and, when Tom started one up, everyone seemed to gravitate to the area where the cars were and got an ear-to-ear grin. This was one of the very first interviews we did for the documentary, 'Saturday Night at the Races, Memories of the Great Danbury Fair & Racearena.' Our condolences to the Davis family and friends. "My dad is a tinker, he's always working on something," Tom added. "We will rebuild the house we've lived here our whole lives," Tom said.
event are two former Danbury Fair queens, the voice of the race arena and other. This Woodbury farm is a beautiful piece of land and the perfect place to hold such an event. The debate is being hosted by Danbury-based Midwestern Connecticut. She then introduced me to her brother, Tom, on whose property the picnic was being held. Growing up in Danbury, Brought went to the races every week. A place to share Memories, Photos, and our collecting & Preserving of The Great Danbury State Fair &.
"He's living in my camper next to where the house burned down and we got him hooked up with water and electricity, so he's fine now," Cheryl said. He is also helping to organize the 2017 Danbury Racearena and Southern New York Racing Association reunion, which is scheduled Sept. Danbury Fair & Racearena Memorabilia, Wells, Vermont. She told me her father was doing "really well." When I arrived at the picnic, I met his daughter, Cheryl, who was tending the donation table.
I attended the picnic/fundraiser because I am a Chick Stockwell fan, just like thousands of others, and wanted to show my support.
