Another great Dave Dykes Article/Photo davedykesracingthroughtime Here we have an early-career shot of Danbury Fair Racearena standout, Bones Stevens. Ranked 12th on the track’s all-time winners list, he actually got his start in the sport as a young drag racer. He first appeared at the Racearena wheeling the backup coupe of his friend and fellow Danbury star, Lou Funk Sr. That initial outing was a slam-bang affair, with the Funk machine a total-loss following a bout with the wall. It was not however, a sign of things to come; Stevens went-on to become one of the Southern New York Racing Association’s most successful & popular drivers. Sadly, the much-missed Connecticut third-miler closed at the conclusion of the 1981 season. A highly-successful venue, Danbury routinely drew capacity crowds and offered one of the highest weekly short track purses in the nation. (Mannion Photo) Just now · Like
