Vintage Laconia NH Racing (1of4)

[UnicornClone]

Well to be accurate the races weren't in Laconia, but next door in Gilford at the Belknap (Gunstock) Recreation Area. Both my parents attended the events held there in the old days. When I was growing up I attended some of the races held at the then new track in Loudon. The Loudon track was a beautiful road-race course that was destroyed in order to build the NASCAR track that's there today.Over the years, besides road-racing,Loudon also had flat-track racing, enduro's and other off-road events.

Do you have original footage or did you record it from TV rebroadcast? Can it be acquired on VHS or DVD? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
