| New
Gloucester Fairgrounds, like most fairgrounds facilities in
Maine, was a half-mile dirt track. Beech Ridge Speedway owner
Jim McConnell and the Main State Stock Car Racing Association
promoted the racing events at the fairgrounds from 1949 to 1951.
Rumors
surfaced years later of auto racing returning to New Gloucester
Fairgrounds but the rumors and the races never materialized.
Now re-named
Trotters Park, the old fairgrounds is presently owned by the
Town of New Gloucester. |
