    I wish I could go back to these two track again. Between those two and Kankakee I met a lot of great people who I’m still friends with.

    My old home track Crown Point Speedway (Southlake / Broadway) in Northwest Indiana. Closed in February 2006. Used to get a lot of Wisconsin, Illinois, & Michigan drivers each year for weekly shows.
    ALSO Santa Fe Speedway on the Southwest side of Chicago (93rd & Wolf Road) Closed in 1995.

    As far as first time I have a few.

    Atomic - Tennessee

    Ascot Park - California

    Manzanita - Arizona

    16th Street Speedway - Indianapolis

      Pennsboro. By the time I moved close enough to go there for a show it was closed.

        I will definitely have to go with Memphis Motorsports Park. Always some great racing there. Not to mention the girls from the strip club walking the pits passing out discount lap dance cards. Good times for sure.....

          I would have liked to have gone to Pennsboro just for the history.

          I went to Atomic too many times to count, but I’d love to have the chance to go back.

            Reading. The place was torn down for a mall. Well guess what ? The mall has since closed the doors and I believe is being demo'd. They would hold the reading reunion in the mall each year and I have always heard the place would get very crowded.

              Heard those places were cool. Hales Corners was a place I wish I could have seen also.

                      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....

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