NEMA Part of Boch Toys Drive

NORWOOD, MA – The Northeastern Midget Association is a proud participant in the Boch Toyota of Norwood, MA 2012 Toys for Tots Drive. Boch Toyota, located at 277 Boston-Providence Turnpike, will host the event on Friday, Dec. 14 starting at 5 am and continuing throughout the day.

NEMA cars and drivers will be part of the festivities as will radio station WWAF which will broadcast from the dealership.

“We are very excited to be part of the Boch Toyota Toy Drive,” said NEMA president Mike Scrivani Jr. “We ask that all NEMA fans come out and donate to this great cause.”

Boch Toyota is minutes from where the legendary Norwood Arena stood, a tough quarter mile that hosted a lot of New England racing. Between 1953 and 1969, Norwood Arena presented over 25 NEMA events.

Chuck Arnold, Bert Brooks, Joe Csiki, Al Pillion, Johnny Kay and Bill Randall, all members of the New England Auto Racer’s Hall of Fame, were NEMA winners at Norwood Arena.
