I thought it had to do with somebody building a new Atomic Motor Speedway and he was getting involved with that. :D

It's officially Pennsboro for 2024.
People sure do love their half mile tracks.
with the amount of changes that would be needed for todays cars..would it still be pennsboro?
Some things are just better off left as they are - Pennsboro is one of them.
WOW. Please do it right XR. The place needs so much to meet today's cars. I say make it flat and widen the corners. You don't need stands, People have sat all over that hillside and the view is great. Pennsboro doesn't Carl Short still have a hand in the place ?
Carl has nothing to do with it.
Somebody's gonna spend some serious cash reviving that place. All the power to them.
id have rather seen belle clair brought back to life, xr gonna bring back ascot next?
revive Lasalle Speedway
In my humble opinion, XR would be better off buying WVMS and building a smaller track inside the big 5/8th, like a Davenport Speedway. It would be a heck of a lot cheaper and all the required infrastructure is already in place as far as seating, amenities and access roads.....But what do I know???
Enough racing talk.........what's the PARTY gonna be like???
I'd be willing to bet that this second verse will be the same as the first. Every other year, hope is breathed into Pennsboro but nothing ever materializes. The place is just way too primitive and in need of so much infrastructure. Hopefully there will be modern comforts such as restrooms, running water, lighting and safer access to the treacherous hillside. I just recently got over the effects of dysentery from my last visit there.
Go to a nascrap race. This way your white tennie shoes won't get dirty. They revive that place, you won't be able to get near the place. There frst concern has to be the track, which is a major hurdle to get passed. It has to be widened, the creek is another obstacle. It's been how many yrs ? I won't get my hopes up but if it becomes reality I'll be digging my heels in on that hillside and enjoying a cold one.
