NORWOOD, MA. In three weeks, the 7th Annual Norwood Arena Reunion will take place on Sunday, June 5, at Bezema Motors on US Rt. 1 in Norwood, Mass., the Auto Mile. Every year this event has become a focal point for those fans who, years ago, lined up at the ticket booth to get their weekly dose of racing action. In fact it was so exciting that rainouts caused much disappointment for those who were caught up in the racing wars at the 1/4-mile bullring between Modified greats such as Bill Slater, Bugs Steven, Pete Hamilton, Jack Malone and Leo Cleary among others. Many of these daredevils went onto great heights including Hamilton of Newton, who won the 1970 Daytona 500. He was the first of a few New Englanders who made it into big-time NASCAR action. (more…)
