Next Meeting - Oct. 4
Our next meeting is on Wednesday, October 4 at Colony Cottage Recreation Center, going green at 7 p.m.
Our guest speaker is auto racing legend Will Cagle, who has frequently been described as the most dominating big-block modified race driver of all time. Will has won countless modified and super-modified championships in Florida and in the Northeast.
Cagle has driven modifieds, NASCAR Sportsman Division cars at Daytona, late model stock cars, sprint cars, USAC Silver Crown champ cars, Legend cars and other car types during a racing career that began in the early 1950s. Will has raced against and beaten some of the best American drivers. He is credited with 472 wins in big-block modified racing, and if you ask him, he'll tell you that he intends to get some more.
During his career, Cagle was inducted into six prominent racing halls of fame. They are: (1) Harmony Speedway (NJ) Hall of Fame; (2) Living Legends of Auto Racing; (3) Jacksonville (FL) Stock Car Racing Hall of Fame; (4) Eastern Motorsport Press Association Hall of Fame; (5) Northeast Dirt Modified Hall of Fame; (6) New York State Stock Car Association Hall of Fame.
Will Cagle will be interviewed by noted racing journalist and author Richard Golardi, who is a member of our club's Hall of Fame.
