Oh, you are the doubters. That's the building. I can remember looking in the first overhead garage door. That is the one the overnight delivery guys had a key to, for deliveries off hours and there was 55 gal drums of race gas in there. Chet's Speed Shop goes back to the early 70s and was originally in the building down route 2 towards Norwich just past Joe Casey and Sons on the right on the curve in the road. It's a small building that might be a Beauty Salon now. After many years there, Chet moved to the building you are in and he was there for 2 or 3 years then closed for good. Other than Chet, there has never really been a speed shop in the Norwich/Preston area. I grew up in Algen Heights in Ledyard so this area I am very familiar with, but that was back in the 70s.
