      Syracuse. Sure, the racing was generally pretty crappy, but 44 big blocks with special bodies and schemes coming to the green on Sunday of SDW was always a sight to behold.

        I voted 'other' for nostalgia, Hawkeye Downs Speedway in Cedar Rapids, Iowa -- paved in the late '80s. Fell in love with dirt track racing there and boy did they draw some great drivers on a weekly basis. But what I wouldn't give to have Atomic (TN) back, it's painful to drive past the old site on I40 and remember what it was like.

            Freeport Il, A long drive home on Sunday nights, but worth it. The best thing about it was you seen different drivers. The best from Iowa Peoria, Chicago and Wisconsin. Lack of places to run on Sunday brought the best there.

              It's a shame they paved Hawkeye Downs. Saturday nights where never the same. Anyone remember when they only ran flatheads and six cylinders on the 1/4 mile, inside the big track

                Voted Other - Shepp's Speedway Alexander Illinois. Saw some (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) good Late Model races there!

                      I really liked Central Park and Taylor County also now that you mention them. Seen great racing at both of them. Even when McHenry shortened the track it was good.

                      Was at McHenry one night and a transformer caught on fire. Was you there?

                          Been a long time since they raced,don't remember for sure. I mostly went to the bigger money shows. I'm like you,I enjoyed both size tracks.Thought the racing was more flat foot or all out with the shorter track.Always wondered how no cars ever went over the 3&4 guardrail.Always seemed like perfect place for that to happen.Were rumours of opening back up a couple years ago.
