Track no longer around you wish you could visit 1st time
This may have been done on here before but I don’t ever recall answering it. We all have tracks on our bucket lists that we’d like to see and visit at some point.
What track did you never get to visit that you wish you had before it closed and was torn down for whatever reason?
For me it’d be Atomic Speedway that was in Tn. I can’t tell ya how many times I’ll get lost down a YouTube rabbit hole watching old videos from that joint. Lot of people I know that loved that place.
-
I second that one on Atomic too.

I79 speedway in West Virginia.
-
Clay city in Ky. I remember hearing a lot about it when I was younger
-
I77 Chester SC. Word is that it’s presently being torn down.
-
Branson Mo. I wanted to see Larry Phillips race there.
-
I have two that I regret not being able to see in person. Reading Fairgrounds in Reading, Pa (missed it by a year) and Pennsboro, just based on all the tales you hear about the old joint.

Log Cabin in Virginia, always read about the place growing up.
-
Riverside in upstate SC......Dublin nc in its original form......and metrolina.
Where is the move over flag when you need it?????
-
Athens speedway in Ga would also be on my list. Sugar creek in Union SC would be another.

Ascot always seemed cool and people loved it
. I know it was not known for late models.

I wish I could go back to these two track again. Between those two and Kankakee I met a lot of great people who I’m still friends with.
My old home track Crown Point Speedway (Southlake / Broadway) in Northwest Indiana. Closed in February 2006. Used to get a lot of Wisconsin, Illinois, & Michigan drivers each year for weekly shows.
ALSO Santa Fe Speedway on the Southwest side of Chicago (93rd & Wolf Road) Closed in 1995.
As far as first time I have a few.
Atomic - Tennessee
Ascot Park - California
Manzanita - Arizona
16th Street Speedway - Indianapolis

I will definitely have to go with Memphis Motorsports Park. Always some great racing there. Not to mention the girls from the strip club walking the pits passing out discount lap dance cards. Good times for sure.....
-
I would have liked to have gone to Pennsboro just for the history.
I went to Atomic too many times to count, but I’d love to have the chance to go back.

Reading. The place was torn down for a mall. Well guess what ? The mall has since closed the doors and I believe is being demo'd. They would hold the reading reunion in the mall each year and I have always heard the place would get very crowded.
