Please check out the pictures for a better look at the condition. Plainville Stadium was originally known as Tinty's Flying Ranch, for horse shows, circuses and small plane air shows, there is rumor that it was also a horse track. In 1948 it was opened as Plainville Stadium, it was a 1/4 mile dirt track for 1 week but complaints from the fans prompted Owner Joe Tinty to lay down ashpalt. Many great drivers have links to that track, Don McTavish, Pete Hamilton, Denny Zimmerman, Ed Flemke and Ron & Ken Bouchard, Tony Mordino, Billy Greco, Dick Watson, Dave Alkas, Sparky Belmont, Stash Greger, Jap Membrino, Charlie Jarzombek, Lou Carangelo and Reggie Ruggiero just to name a few. The track was closed in 1981. The rising cost of insurance, security and low car draw forced him to close the track. It is true that a group of drivers from Danbury wanted to buy the track and reopen it after Danbury closed but the deal fell through. Joe and Don Tinty held out selling the property to a developer for quite a few years and after Joe Tinty died, his son Don sold the property to a developer from N.Y. (it is the same developer that built the mall on Danbury Racearena.) Currently on Plainville Stadium Property is a Lowes home Improvement, Loews theater, K-Mart and A.C. Moore plus several fast food restaurants.
