New images, website turns 2 and more!

I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday season. Happy New Year!

With the new year approaching tomorrow, it also marks TWO years that the Gansett website has been online. It is my hope in the future to raise some money to move the site to it's own server with a .com domain. The website has come a long way since it began in 2007. Many thanks to everyone who has contributed in some way or another.

I've added many new images. Many are new photos just added to my own collection. Some are courtesy of wonderful individuals who have taken the time to scan them in and e-mail me.

In other news, my trip to the Pawtucket Library was cancelled today due to a snowstorm. I hope to travel there next week to continue my research on Gansett. I very much hope to be able to write and publish a book about the racetrack and would like to include a special chapter dedicated to other racetracks that are no longer with us.

Have a safe New Year.

Narragansett Special on local Cox Sports, other updates

I unfortunately live in MA so I am not able to get Cox Cable in my area. A 1 hr special on Narragansett Park aired several times. I am looking for a copy and would greatly appreciate anyone who is able to help me acquire one.

I continue to purchase items from ebay and have acquired several more race win photos, buttons, a vintage 1970s T-shirt and several other pieces of history. I hope to add these to the galleries soon. Keep checking for more to be added to the gallery.

As always if you have Gansett Memorbilia that you are able to scan or take photos of I would love to add them to the gallery. Full credit given.

Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday.
