Deaths at the Racearena
How many racing deaths were there at the Racearena?
I thought that there were only 2, one being Ted Abbott, and the other Joe Campanella, who died years later
but very likely the indirect 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.
