Re: [Marlboro_Raceway] Marlboro's last race?

Hey Bob
 
I still have in my possession the last checkered flag to drop at Marlboro due to the Lotus Wedge Formula Ford (Heyser Cycle) I was driving at the time.
 
Seems like yesterday...........this gray hair is a killer.

We had some discussion that we should hold at least Solo I events at
Marlboro to keep the non-conforming zoning active, but neither the
Regional board or the Marlboro owners put much effort into it. I always
thought it was sad that there was no big last event, but in reality the
cost of continual facility and safety improvements were too much for
occasional use. The track was coming apart the last year.

Cheers, Bob
