Lonsdale Arena - Rhode Island

Just wondering if any old-timers out there remember the Lonsdale Arena in Cumberland, RI? It closed after a flood in 1955. I remember seeing great races there as a child. It was a high-banked oval track and was well supported during its short history. The premier division was the "Cut Downs" - predecessors to today's modifieds.

Thanks!

Go to my site. Then go to "odds&ends" and find the third link down in that section. John Grady sold me this print at a motorsports show in Syracuse in the spring and gave me permission to post it. I could have talked to him all day... a great racing historian!
