Racearena Deaths

Recommended Posts



Even thought it's not an pleasant topic, it is still one that should not be ignored.
How many racing-related deaths were there at the Racearena?

I always believed that there were only 2, one being Ted Abbott, and the other Joe Campanella, who died years later from possibly the indirect result of his crashing on the backstretch when he hit a big Oak tree in the Dutch Village.

Any corrections to this are more than welcome.

According to http://www.motorsportmemorial.org the track related fatalities are:

Ted Abbott
Death date: 25.Aug.1979
Role: track official
Circuit: Danbury Fair Racearena

Louis Jackson
Death date: 06.Oct.1923
Role: driver
Circuit: Danbury Fair Racearena

Albert Odell
Death date: 21.Aug.1965
Role: driver
Circuit: Danbury Fair Racearena
