Discovery Movie

In 2002 the supers were turning in low 11's actually they were called outlaw as they had no rules,run what you got.this was about the same time they made the Discovery movie there.

What kind of movie did Discovery Channel ever tape there? I remember A&E did one at Atomic in 2000, maybe 01? I actually have it somewhere, but I don't remember anything at Spring City. How do we get a copy?

discovery channel did a movie there in sept. 2002 it was more about kenny lecroy than anything i guess how he won over 300 races there. i know 2 other drivers have won just as many or close 2 it thats marion tipton and rick williams. iam not sure how many lecroy won but it wasnt 300 at spring city maybe 130 or so. marion has more close to 300 cause he had the new track and old track history from 50's to the 90's. rick on the other hand from 87-92 had alot of wins just about all of them in 88-89. i tried to find somewhere to get the film that discovery did but cant find it. it air that next spring and had some incar footage of matt henderson his rookie year.

Let me see....Kenny Lecroy 300 wins at Spring City......I believe that would be an average of 15 wins per season for 20 years!!!!! Somebody has been drinking too much Kool-Aid......

It's on you tube, we put in LeCroy race or something like that,you can find it nice little track,

That place isn't big enough for a super late model race. It's barely big enough to run limiteds or crates.

come up to IL you might be surprised Macon highland belleville

Year round racing in Spring City...40 to 50+ wins a year......so your saying out of a possible 52 race dates a year that they got enough races in to win this many races...racing in the snow.....hands froze to the steering wheel....by the way I know Kenny Lecroy personally...he is rolling in the floor laughing his ass off at your post......He won a lot of races at Spring City but not even Superman could do what you claim!!!!

In the film the car counts are better than they are now,the crowd is way bigger.Me and my bud usually go up there 2-3 times a year.The only thing I really don't like about that place is having Wolf Creek volunteer fire/rescue there.I mean what's the point of having them there? Two years ago I saw a hobby car flip several times near the flag stand...not one member of the Wolf Creek fire/rescue did anything,they didn't even go down there and ask if he was ok.

[Dhoffman66]

hey pal i raced there long before kenny lecroy. and we raced all the time i dont like the guy myself but people say he won 300 plus races. i think he won 130 or so and he wouldnt had won that many if there was more than 3-4 cars night that film was built up to look good most of it isnt even spring city if u pay attention. racing yes stand and crowd no the guy can drive a racecar but when the bigger guys came there after all the tracks around closed he was no where to be found with a racecar maybe teching or standing around but not racing.....

[Dhoffman66]

the track is cleaned up but it will never be the power house it was 25 years ago. raymond has done really good in his first year as a promoter and i think this year will be a really good year as long as they pay good cars will keep coming i see at least 15 pony stocks this year and the thunder road series was a great idea that will carry 12 plus car avg. super streets 12 plus also. fwd. is if-e u never know and latemodel had an 8 car avg, last year if they set a pay and stick to it i see 40-50 car avg. every week. so good luck to the staff and drivers at spring city

[Dhoffman66]

wow that belle clair speedway is about the same size as spring city and a 10,000.00 to win race there was awesome. they prop. have a lot more parking area then spring city but u run just a big race at spring city there would be plenty of run for a big race like that money brings the big boys i have never seen that track but i liked it thk. for video

In the movie it says on first lap, LeCroy sees a hole ans goes thru it,heck if you will look they was no hole when his car started turning, some how his car would start turning behind the car in front, does that mean his car is loose? They say it did that cause it's a Rayburn maby in all those wins they were counting all those wins at Boyds cause he raced 2 times a wk.
