Thanksgiving Day 1951
This photo is from The Lakes Region of New Hampshire Volume II by Bruce D. Heald, Ph.D. The caption under it states:
Race car No. 40 , called the Meredith Ford , on Meredith Bay, Thanksgiving Day, 1951. Pictured are Tony Amabile (the driver) and his two children, Thomas (left) and Anthonette . According to the AP News, this vehicle was electronically timed at 90 mph, its top speed.
Could there really have been enough ice to hold several autos on Thanksgiving Day?
