Macon Speedway

Macon is one of those tracks you either love or hate. It's not a track of high speed but a lot of rubbing for sure.

Never ever bring New sheet medal to Macon LOL

Last year (Summer Nationals) was my first time there. 100 laps, constant action, I plan to go back as long as health holds out. Took a week of vacation and saw 6 races in 6 nights. I was lucky there were no rainouts. Doing the same thing this year.

Never in all the years of going to or discussing Macon have I heard anyone hating it.

Have been twice to Macon, both for the Herald Review SN show. 1st time was when Babb broke motor in parade lap of feature, pulled in infield, jumped in Bilbrey's car(let me know if I'm wrong on his name), started dead last, took lead around lap 75 , won, then was light at the scales. The other was when Drake and Ross tangled late and Billy had to be escorted out of track by the police. Can't wait to get back.

I live about a hour from it and know a lot of people that don't like the Place...
Then it might be some people like Sarge and don't like him at all...Big Love Hate here on Sarge

I was at the one with Billy LOL

Billy Drake wasn't the first need to be escorted out of Mighty Macon. IIRC D ickie Taylor once needed police protection on the way out. Jim Leka might have had something to do with that deal.

I remember one night a USAC flagman by the name of Billy Shipman needed some extra security. LOL!!

The look on the young ladies' face in the background of the video is priceless. Jack's wife Jody can be seen walking past with a knowing look on her face, as well!
