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.

Atomic is the one I missed most, went there 2 times and was rained out both times, on the good side. that is where I met Leebo and Miss Bea and went to a 4M breakfast with them at The Dinner Bell.
Also years and years ago, Decatur Speedway, Decatur, AL, only there a couple of years, I-65 got it. It was in the Southeast corner of I-65 and I-565.Last edited by d-glenn; 02-21-2021, 08:22 AM.-------------------------

I remember a story about or an interview with Mooney Starr that said he got his start racing at the Imboden Speedway. I can't find a record of the track online anywhere,and I even tried playing around with old aerial views to find it. My wife's cousin actually married a girl from there,and is a doctor in the area. My wife's aunt and uncle actually moved up there also. They couldn't care less about racing however. My wife's cousin also worked as a pharmacist in Tazewell,Tn at one time also!Originally posted by smooth 32Anybody know of a track in Arkansas in the Ravenden, Imboden area along 412? It was there back in the late 70's early 80's maybe it still is? Don't remember what it was called...Formerly 66#1

Went there. Years later. fixed it for ya.Originally posted by smooth 32AllenK, somehow the name Spring River Speedway comes to mind. I want there once. Years latter when back in that area it was gone and I could never find anything on it... Is there a "spring river" that runs through there by chance that you know of?
