North East Motor Sports Museum Remains Open Despite Weather
Editor's Note: This news item was retrieved and first published through the Concord Monitor's website.
The Concord Monitor reports that the North East Motor Sports Museum remains open for winter. The museum’s collection of nearly 40 cars, motorcycles & even a snowmobile also includes the No. 20 car that Connecticut’s Joey Logano drove to win his first NASCAR Sprint race. In addition, George Summers' No. 21 car that he won two Seabrook Championships on quarter-mile tracks in 1967 and 1974.
Visitors are allowed to reach into the interior of the cars, look under the hoods and even get on the floor and stare up at the suspension. Some cars have been restored and are still racing while others look much like they did when they took their final lap decades ago. Board member of the museum Peter Von Sneidern comes up from Temple where he owns Kidder Mountain Restoration to play host on the first and third Saturdays of the month when the museum is open during the off-season. Peter also donated a vintage race car to the museum that he bought in 1969 and spent hundreds of hours restoring. The modified 1932 Ford Model B raced in the Keene area in the late 1930s.
