    DTWC @ Pennsboro

    I was wondering. IF Pennsboro were to open back up, and the DTWC moved back there, wonder what kind of attendance it would get? Pennsboro is a magical place, and I for one would love to see it reopen, hopefully someday it will. No bashing please

    I'd say it's lost its magic. To much has changed

        It would be packed. No doubt about it. From West Virginians alone.

            I'd go just because I never got to see a race at the place.

              Most day races ran on a track prepped with calcium chloride and very little water are.

                I think it would be cool for a one shot deal on the 40th anniversary.

                  That's a FACT ! The local Hillbillys brought shovels and would dig out pockets in the hillside to sit in. They'd be a passin around a gallon milk jug full of booze between them. They got more excited every time there was a wreck {and there was always plenty of wrecks there}. They would stand up and hoot and holler ! 1 year some of the locals went out at night and shot a deer and they roasted on a spit for everybody.

                    Went when I was in diapers. I was at the last DTWC there in my teens. Something you have to experience to understand

                      I’ve never heard a story about great racing. Just the partys. And I like to party👍🏻

                        When I was 12 we found a guy in the woods lying on his back. Thought he was dead when we found him. Put a leaf over his mouth and it moved so we woke him up and took him back to our camp. Fed him chilli and gave him sprite till he could walk again. Come to find out he polished a fifth of whiskey before noon that day. I'll never forget the place

                              I was 10 and 11 when I went. I seen a guy walking around with a fake dong that was 5ft long, that was plowing up the gravel behind him. Later on, he whipping it around like it was a lasso, and running through a fire with it. I've been to a lot of races in my day, but yet to see anything that compare to that joints party life.
