One of the saddest events in the history of Hamilton Township was the loss of George Hamid's New Jersey State Fair. The loss of the speedway at Langhorne was also a sad loss to area racing fans Along with the annual N.J. State Fair, the loss of the races and the race track in Hamilton was one of the gems of the east in its heyday. Here's a photo from the "Sunday Times Advertiser" of August 4, 1940 with photos of some of the racing stars of the day. My favorite driver was Bill Holland.
