A practicing
physician in South Portland, "Doc" Christopher had the
distinction of being the only true "track physician"
in Maine.
For 26 years, "Doc" Christopher was at Beech
Ridge Speedway every race night ready to treat any injury a driver,
a crewmember or any person at the track might sustain. Wherever
there was an accident on the track, he was usually the first
person to the accident scene to check on the driver or drivers.
"Doc" Christopher was also a car owner,
winning the 1951 track championship with driver Dick Garrett.
No two people had more respect at Beech Ridge Speedway than
"Doc" Christopher and wife Flossie, who also was the
track nurse. |
