Looking Back: NEMA At Lee

By admin June 15, 2010 Lee USA, NEMA

Walter Gale of Norwich, CT drove the Secondo Offy to victory in the Northeastern Midget Association’s first visit to Lee USA Speedway on June 12, 1966.

It was still the third-mile tri-oval layout that was replaced by the current three-eights mile.

The Friday night, June 26th visit will be NEMA’s 26th at Lee. Veteran Jeff Horn will be looking to make it two straight.

Among active competitors, Horn is the NEMA win leader at Lee with four, two behind all-time pace setter Drew Fornoro.

Russ Stoehr (2), Randy Cabral and Bobby Santos III are also on the active driver Lee win list.

Gale headed up a podium that included Dave Humphrey and Bill Stofer. It was one of 14 wins Gale, the 1964 champion, collected between 1964 and 1968. He is tied for 14th on the all-time NEMA win list.
