We always went with Danny Dean. Anyone remember Bubba the Gorilla? He still uses Bubba out front of his auto repair shop

We went out to the DTWC a few times back when it was still held at Pennsboro. The rest rooms stunk so bad and everything was running over with raw sewage that it would gag a maggot off of a gut wagon.
Prior to race weekend the promoters would spread fish guts and pig chit on the hillside across the street from the backstretch to keep people from setting over there and watching the races for free. Didn't make a bit of difference, those that wanted to set over there just brought Visqueen with them, laid it down, shoved their noses full of cotton and set right down in it and watched from there anyway. Dammedest thing I ever did see.
Does anyone remember Crazy Bob? He always had a Jack Boggs jacket on and always passed around a quart jar of moon. Ol' Bob would be wobblin' a little when he got up to leave but he always made it down the hill. LOL!Last edited by CIRF; 10-25-2018, 12:45 PM.Comment

I watched from that hillside to avoid traffic leaving ... it wasn’t easy to get Up thereComment

Love the memories, literally grew up a mile and a half from there. Drive past it twice a day.Comment

There will only ever be one Pennsboro. Dunno if that’s a complement or not lol. Where else do you have two bridges, and the way across is under one on narrow (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)ty slick concrete. Where they let everybody’s mother and brother run the track in. Set (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)ters on fire, over 100 cars, and mediocre racing. But it was a good time. Though last time I was there was probably 95 ish.Up in the air who my next “favorite†driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normalâ€.Comment

Never made it to Pemnsboro, didn’t move out of modified country until after it was gone. The stories I hear about the partying at the place remind me a lot of the ghetto at Syracuse though.Comment

I’m glad I got to see it and experience the magic. As far as it ever going back there, anything’s Possible but it’s gonna take a pile of money to get it up to today’s standards.Comment

Why did it close??Comment

Went there when I was young with my dad. We watched the Saturday heats then headed over to WVMS for a race. If I recall correctly Moyer and Bloomer put on quite a show. Those were the days! It was so cold @ WVMS there were building fires in the grass terrace seating.Comment

I believe a bad storm in 2002 washed out parts of the trackOriginally posted by TackyTracker View PostComment

I went in '94 as a teen and was disappointed. Of course, I hadn't reached party age yet
I also heard that everyone that parked along the access road got ticketed in during the last race in 2001. Must have been a slow crime day for Ritchie Co. PD.
