Squelched rumors of stockcar track at Goshen park
Yonkers Raceway president Stanley Tananbaum denied plans to sell Good Time Park in Goshen to a stockcar venture. Yonkers owns the track, under a 1974 contract with Standard Owners Association, to keep it as a training ground for horse owners. Neighbors received letters from a Middletown real estate firm hinting a buyer, but officials say stock car racing would require planning board approval and only conforming uses would be allowed if horses leave.
