The sounds of planes landing and taking off can often be heard at the Orange Airport. However, in the ’50s, ’60s and early ’70s, there was also a different sound at the airport: the sound of drag racing.
According to Bill Thorp, a resident of Athol and a former Orange drag racer, the racing began at the airport in 1954. The races were held once a month, sponsored by the Kiwanis Club, and were sanctioned by the National Hot Rod Association.
