The First Green Flag

Finally, the green flag is waving. It took only a month to build Pine Brook Stadium, but thanks to the distractions of everyday life it has taken far longer to launch this web site. Still, better late than never.

As noted on the home page, this will be an ongoing project, never actually finished. We have countless photos, clippings, and stories to tell about the little race track that gained a national reputation.

We will be updating this blog regularly, not only with information about the history of Pine Brook Stadium, but also about relevant – and perhaps irrelevant – events in racing.

Since this is our first post to the new blog, it seemed appropriate to include a image of a clipping about the first race at Pine Brook in 1962. Written by Nat Kleinfield, it was one of many that Nat placed in newspapers in the region prior to the track’s opening night. Click on the image to open a larger version suitable for reading.


Thank you for visiting, and stop back often!
