Remember when...

[71PRPFan]

TJ and the harmons did an ok job bringing the track “back to life” so to speak, but they couldn’t run a hot dog stand. Probably doesn’t help the person who actually owns the land won’t sell it. After what happened there, I don’t blame people for walking away and not watching the races anymore. RIP Charlie

Maybe Brad will get ahold of it. It’s a desolate place now.

Remember when was the last run what you brung and hope you brought enough race

They have one of those at a track in SC this weekend at historic lakeview....ought to be stout.

Remember when all racetrack hot dogs were pink and the cars were not?

[Krooser]

No green race cars... No peanuts in the pits...some sanctions required your blood type, religion and next of kin on your helmet.

[EvelB7]

No fifty dollar bills as well!

Remember when Eldora was getting 150-200+ cars for the World 100 weekend.

Remember when it was a big deal when you heard Bloomquist was going to stop into your local Summer National?

I remember when four race cars pulled in the gate on a car transporter. To a young guy that was like hitting the lottery.

Remember when the STARS would come to town and the locals would could compete?

Remember when Metrolina was open? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrolina_Speedway

[Mopar DLM]

Remember when you were 3-4 seconds a lap slower but didn't pay a shock guy, tire guy, an engineer or engine builder because you were all of those guys and probably had just as much fun.

[Josh Bayko]

You have to be at like 70 to remember when dudes built their own race cars. Buying your speed has been going on for 50+ years at this point.

[CIRF]

Remember the smaller, tighter track configuration at Fairbury before they built the present track?
