Default Re: Shirley Muldowney 'Early Stocker'

Mr. SS Wannabee,

Milton Speedway (Milton, Vermont), just North of Burlington, Vermont.

This was an Eastern Drag News Track.

1/4 Mile Dragstrip {1961 thru 1972}

Excellent Track and Facilities for it's time period.

Did very well in the 'Summer Season'..... (early-June.... thru.........late-September)

Big Cash 'pay-outs', and got many - Super/Stock, A/FX and AWB Match Races in the early-and-mid 1960's.

Usually '250+' 'car counts' during its 'Hey-Day' (1962 thru 1968)

Attendance and Racer participation started to fade in 1969, and by 1970 'car counts' were down to 150 or so.

Shirley Muldowney ran her;
62' Corvette "C/SP' car there in........ 1962 and 1963
63' Corvette "C/SP" car there in........ 1963 and 1964
63' Plymouth Fury 'Steel-Nose' 426 Max-Wedge 'non Ram-Air' "AA/SA" car there in 1964 and 1965.
64' Corvette "A/SP' car there in.......... 1964
65' Corvette "A/SP"car there in.......... 1965

She never ran any of her Dragsters at Milton Speedway.
