Tri-Town Pacers Club Builds Courtesy Auto Group
Anthony DuPont Jr founded the Tri-Town Pacers in Bristol Barrington and Warren as a 4 member club meeting Mondays on Roma Street to swap motor tips, learn repair, and restyle stock cars. Members have won racing trophies in Hartford and Charlestown, and a rule fines speeding members five dollars with two week suspension. The club aims to join the International Hot Rod Association and sponsor an auto show if it stays active for a year.
