THE FRANK HART PHOTO PAGE

When most people in the northern region of Vermont think of F.E. Hart, they think of fencing, because of the long-standing F.E. Hart Fence Co.. But Frank hart also was in on the ground floor of Vermont's burgeoning 1950's stock car racing revolution. Hart, then from Alburgh, was involved in some of the most significant moments of that era. Through help from Arnie Hill [A. H. Fence Co.], a protege of Hart's, we are now beginning to receive some of the Hart family racing photos from Mrs. Hart. I will place most of them on this page. Thanks to Arnie and the Harts.

With Hart is someone identified as Layton.

The same car as above waiting for the races at the Champlain Valley Exp. fairgrounds the year of the Art Bessette fatality.	Ed Hart and Frank's father, at that practice session in Colchester.	Early Airborne lineup. Could that F40 be a Smitty car ?	Frank Hart, [left] with an unkown driver, Pappy Forsythe, Jackie Peterson, and Ernie Barcomb - at Colchester-Bayview Speedway in Malletts Bay. This is the most exciting photo in the collection, so far.
