Heard those places were cool. Hales Corners was a place I wish I could have seen also.

A lot of history was made at the old Anniston Alabama speed way , it was a bit before my time but would have loved to have witnessed a race there , It closed and when i was about 15 years old , they converted the old freemans motocross track down the road at Eastaboga into what is now TST , I knew a lot of the old timers that raced there and heard many , many old stories from them , most have passed now....

Went to my first race at tst late 70s early 80s been to all ice bowls but 2, I've never heard about it being a motocross track.

I'd love to see another race at winchester in tn .
-
I77 Chester SC. Word is that it’s presently being torn down. Ken Schrader had a Chevy Dealership in Whitmire SC. He stopped by I77 and tried to buy it, they wouldn't sell
-
That place produced great racing....sad to hear.
Where is the move over flag when you need it?????
-
The old Dublin NC before it was made smaller...

I've read about the track at Hoke's Bluff,Alabama and looked at it on Google Maps. It had to be a bad fast place especially in the original configuration.
It only lasted a couple of years,but the Memphis-Arkansas Speedway in Lehi,Arkansas would be on my list. 1.5 mile dirt track that hosted Nascar races in the 1950's. The track is easily viewable on Google Maps,and you can see the banking from I-40. The last few times we've gone by I've noticed that large no trespassing signs with video surveillance warnings have been added around the track. Also,the El Paso and Wynn Stadium 1/2 mile tracks in Arkansas.
Pennsboro for the atmosphere.
Formerly 66#1

Atomic is the one I missed most, went there 2 times and was rained out both times, on the good side. that is where I met Leebo and Miss Bea and went to a 4M breakfast with them at The Dinner Bell.
Also years and years ago, Decatur Speedway, Decatur, AL, only there a couple of years, I-65 got it. It was in the Southeast corner of I-65 and I-565.
