JACK ANDERSON

A Man With a Lot of History in Northern Vermont Racing

Jack Anderson goes back a long way in Vermont stock car racing. Starting off at the tender age of 15 at the infamous "Smitty's Race Track", Jack went on to drive in several divisions - at many tracks all over the East Coast in his life. Jack seemed to be an enormously popular man who knew multitudes of people - both great and insignificant. When Jack happened across my web site, he not only decided to send me some rare, unseen photos; but, he has solved some mysteries about cars in some of the pictures. Thanks, Jack !
