Many new updates

As you can see by looking at the front page of the website, a few things have changed including a new "Gansett" banner as well as a few new pictures. I like to shake things up a bit every so often.

Also I've added TONS of new photos. Many were from new magazines I picked up, many were from the new 2008 Narragansett Calender (was available at Howell Smith Drug Store in Pawtucket) as well as some fantastic win photos courtesy of Drew and his grandfather Richard.

I also made some minor changes to the "About" page.

I still have many updates to do, including a page where you will be able to look up a name of a horse, jockey or place on the website and you will be able to click on the links below to take you directly to their pictures. I thought this might help for those looking for specific information.

I will also be working on another documentary to "upgrade" the one I did last year. I have so many new pictures and more information that it's time to make a new one.

I also will be working on the "People" page as I have acquired some photos of some of the original people involved with the park as well as announcers etc.

I will be working on typing up some articles about the track and adding them to the site in PDF format.

And when spring arrives and it warms up a bit, I will be taking more images of the grandstand and the land around it.

I have a newspaper article about a horse named Charlie that was buried in the infield in 1968 as well as another horse that was buried there in the late 30s or early 40s. I'm curious as to if they are still there! There is actually a good amount of land that is not developed and was part of the infield as well as where the barns once stood.

Enjoy the updates with more to come as time allows.
