On the coldest day of the winter, as the temperature was stuck in single digits on January 15, 2012, a strong turnout of board members and supporters of the North East Motor Sports Museum convened at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway to plan 2012 activity. They came from all over New England while others joined by conference call from outside the six-state area to participate in discussions focused on fund raising, membership development and artifact acquisition.

The Racing History Preservation Group is now accepting donations of trophies, helmets, driving uniforms, photography, posters, scrapbooks, video footage, magazines, racing newspapers and anything else that is a part of racing in the North East portion of the United States. Reach us at [email protected] to arrange for pick-up or delivery. Tax benefits can accrue to those making donations to our non-profit program.

We have received three pre-1950 trophies and the personal scrapbooks of Ray Jannel who raced motorcycles and midgets throughout New England and as far west as California. The contribution came from his nephew, Bob Jannel, who for many years worked for Winston as a liaison to NASCAR during the years when Winston sponsored NASCAR’s top series.
