1947 Shorts
Description: Westboro Speedway was built by five World War II vets on 35 acres of former farmland in Westborough, Massachusetts. The track started out hosting midget racing, but eventually full size stock car racing became the track's primary focus. In addition to motorsports, Westboro Speedway also hosted countless rock concerts over the years. Like most racetracks, what was once a rural location was eventually surrounded by suburban sprawl that didn't take kindly to the raucous activities that went on there. That, coupled with the land being worth more to developers saw the track close its doors for good in 1985.
Description: As post-war America began hot rodding and drag racing, Richard Lockerman founded Lockerman's Porting Service in Long Beach, California. Lockerman started out focusing on flathead V8s, but went on to offer his exquisite port and polish services on any heads that were brought in. In addition to one offs for local hot rodders, Lockerman did all of the port work for TRACO - the largest, and most respected race engine builder for elite competitors of various racing series throughout the '60s and '70s. Even as technology advanced, Lockerman continued doing his thing in his machine shop that remained a time capsule from the '40s, well into the '70s, and that's exactly how he wanted it... old school until the very end.
