MONTGOMERY, NEW YORK The Montgomery SCCA nationals were run on an abandoned SAC base near Newburg, New York.  The track was determined by sets of hay bales from local farms, but its location so close to New York City attracted thousands of spectators and press and the best cars from coast to coast.  BARCboys were there from 57 to the end in 1960

Today the track is a thriving regional airfield known as Orange County airport.  A popular place to store your private plane or to learn how to fly.  BUT back in the day it was a barely used SAC field and roared once a year from 1956 to 1960 with SCCA National races.  Exactly why the racing stops has never been properly told
