OUTSTANDING SLATE SET FOR NOVEMBER’S RACING MEMORIES PROGRAM
The 2025 edition of the Saratoga Automobile Museum’s popular Racing Memories program (formerly Lost Speedways) is set for Saturday, November 29th with an all-star slate of topics.
“We’ll have six segments that I’ll kick off with a bit titled “The Good Old Days Weren’t All That Good,” said organizer Ron Hedger. “We received a thumb drive from the family of George Lester, a former track photographer at the Fonda Speedway alongside Russ Bergh, that has some terrific but scary shots from the 1950’s and early 60’s. The photos should trigger a lot of memories for old-timers and we thank Don Lester for sending them along.”







The Iconic Mako Shark at the Saratoga Auto Museum
