Old Salt
Saugus opened organized drag racing to westside rodders like Fred. Like Santa Ana, it was a landing strip. Fred (right) in his ’29 poses with track personnel. Lou Senter (in the cap) recalls, “When a plane wanted to land, they would circle overhead. We’d clear the strip and put a cross down indicating it was safe. They’d taxi and watch the races sometimes.” Lou Baney (left of Senter) also promoted the races.
