Groveland Historical Society held its 14th annual "Pines Speedway Reunion" on Saturday October 1, 2016. The setting was on the beautiful Merrimac River, in Groveland, Ma on the original site where once the Pines Speedway sat. The weather was cold and rainy but it did not stop the crowd from pouring into the site on the old track to pay tribute to it's great but not forgotten speedway.
Where ever you turned you could see some of the greatest drivers from the New England area. Under the large white tent were special exhibits, vintage photos, scrapbooks and memorabilia of the Pines Speedway. On hand was a live band, food and beverages.
This year's honorees were, Frank Barthell, Buddy Merrick, Hank Klazim, Ken Smith, and Frank Presutti.
On hand to represent STAR was Charlie Lima #2X coupe, Alan Zemla with his #43 coupe, Art Merchant with his #64 coupe, Mike Horsch with his #1/4 car, and Richard Eastman’s display of Ollie Sylvia's trophies and pictures was a hit with the fans. If you missed this show you missed out on a great time!
