| Located
on the coast of Maine, Old Orchard Beach is known as a major
vacation and resort destination in the summer. Old Orchard Beach
is also the only municipality in Maine to have had three
different venues for auto racing in the 1900's.
The famous
beach was the site of Indianapolis Championship-type car races
from 1910 - 1912. (See below.) A couple of miles inland, Old
Orchard Beach Speedway was built in the 1930's. (See Old Orchard
Beach Speedway.) And, recently, it has been learned Midget car
races were held on a Board track in Old Orchard. Little is known
about the Board track at this time. |
