Me and my Dad used to take the bus from Waterbury,CT on Saturday nights back in the late 60's, early 70's.when 50 to 60 thousand would show up.Three decks and the apron packed.
Real exciting times back then, great memories.

Awesome. Wasn't the FFA going for 25 or 30 k back then when other tracks were 5k?.

 Yes. Stone faced Arthur Nason took Mountain Skipper down from NH after getting tossed from Rockingham for winning too often their 5k invite to race in their Saturday night 25k Open Handicap. They wouldn't let him drive so he threatened to scratch. They relented an he went wire to wire and paid 7.60.
