The Lajoies originally hail from Norwalk, CT, and the patriarch of the family, Don, was usually a top finisher at the old Danbury Fair Racearena for many years (1/3 mile track for a closed club). I spent many Saturday nights there. I may still have a program from those days in my archives somewhere.
The Racearena closed with the Danbury Fair in 1981, and there's a mall there today.
Then Randy (his son, I believe, or his nephew?) came along, got into the NASCAR, and things began to change.
Back in the 70's when I needed a part for my old VW camper, I could sometimes find it at the Lajoie Brothers junkyard down in South Norwalk...
