Hi Bob,

Depending on the year, Norwood Arena would run 3 divisions. Those divisions would be a novice division for beginners (Street Division for example), intermediary division (Hobby Division) and premier division (Modified or Late Model Sportsman).

The Street Division ran mostly stock parts and tires with modifications made for safety and performance on a banked track. Keeping cost as low as possible was a major factor with this division. The Tiger Division was an intermediary division, running higher performing parts and tires (slicks vs. street tires, for example).

The Bounty Hunter…I recall the number 222 coach (a Vicky if my fuzzy memory is correct). I believe the color was dark blue with white lettering. I may have some late 60’s home movies of it running at a day race at Thompson. I believe there may have been a Falcon bodied version too.

Thanks for the info on that.If I remember right there was a driver named Bob Glass who I saw at Norwood and at Thompson in 1970 I think he was driving in that division

Bob, you mention Flying Tiger Div at TR

Good luck with your model making Bob
Post some pics sometime.

Don, are you still planning to put together a history of the different divisions that ran at Norwood over the years?

A daunting task indeed and very dependent on input from those who in the know.

Yes, as part of the track history section. I have good info on the 60's and 70's. The late 40's and 50's has some gaps. Records were not preserved since the organizations that ran the races changed on a regular basis until NASCAR was signed on.
