MORE FROM 1967: THE CROTON CUB KART DERBY

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON. 

More from the days of the old fashioned cub kart derby races that used to be held down at the Starlight Drive-in in the sixties. Courtesy once again of the outstanding newspaper archives at THE CROTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY. From 1967, click on the photos.

    Yes. Now they do these little wooden race cars, table top size, called Pinewood Derby. It's not the same!

    However did we survive our childhood. You might as well put today's kids in a bubble.

    I was always fascinated by these races as a race. I would see the soapbox derbies and the cart races on television shows and wish that they had them where I lived. We built go carts but there were no races. (Rob)
