Cnb, that's his son Kenny that races lernerville. Kenny's nephew just started racing supers last year right out of go karts.

Thanks man, I knew there was a Schalterbrand driving still, had no idea about the circumstances.

Jack Lentz was a good man, along with his wife. 2 of the nicest people you would ever meet. You ever hear that story of being to nice because eventually you'll get burned. I was there the drunk was a a**hole, some things got settled just as they did in old times. The guy that drove the water truck thought he was superman and wanted to throw punches to settle things. A friend of mine grabbed him out of that truck and he got some decent flight time. Jack and Donna are to old now. The track is still there. I doubt if it ever gets reopened. A shame.

Ditto on Bureau Co.even tho I've been there. Santa Fey is one I wished I had attended. Just never got there.

What's the scoop on bureau county? I see on Google earth the track is still there, it just looks like it's used for a demo derbys now. Why didn't it survive?

A lot of history was made at the old Anniston Alabama speed way , it was a bit before my time but would have loved to have witnessed a race there , It closed and when i was about 15 years old , they converted the old freemans motocross track down the road at Eastaboga into what is now TST , I knew a lot of the old timers that raced there and heard many , many old stories from them , most have passed now....

Same here Fastford, before my time. I can still remember the old timers talking about "Fletcher Ford", Don't know who he is and never seen him race, but he impressed the heck out of some old time racers. Also I did go to Granny's speedway in White Plains one time, but don't remember much about it other than Roscoe Smith won in "A-car" and a 15 year old Clint Smith running in B-car. Would love to go back.

I've read about the track at Hoke's Bluff,Alabama and looked at it on Google Maps. It had to be a bad fast place especially in the original configuration.

It only lasted a couple of years,but the Memphis-Arkansas Speedway in Lehi,Arkansas would be on my list. 1.5 mile dirt track that hosted Nascar races in the 1950's. The track is easily viewable on Google Maps,and you can see the banking from I-40. The last few times we've gone by I've noticed that large no trespassing signs with video surveillance warnings have been added around the track. Also,the El Paso and Wynn Stadium 1/2 mile tracks in Arkansas.

Pennsboro for the atmosphere.

I wish I could have seen one on the 5/8's configuration myself. Went once after the Gibb's shortened it, and the race sucked. Micky Gibbs half tracked the 6 or 7 cars that were there until he broke. Can't remember who won.

Saw some great ARCA 300 lappers there...where 2 or 3 racers still be fighting for the win after all them laps!!! Clay City that was a nice track too! Loved them old Chargers with the hi-rise manifold & dual carbs on them!!!

Cleveland Speedway. My husband and I met there 11 1/2 years ago. Our little boy is 9 1/2 now and loves racing. We wished we could take him to where Mom and Dad first met.

Yep, I forgot about Cleveland Speedway, it was a good'un and shouldn't be gone. Even raced in kart race there once against Riley Hickman.
