    Do you have a link for the Racetrack revival page? Barry's page doesn't come up all the way and allow to scroll down past a few post for some reason.

      We all talk about the crap aero of slm racing yet I started a thread about it and the p poor racing we see today and it got deleted. Someday somebody is going to figure it out, no fans, then guess what ? It all goes away, then you'll have 1 series charging 50 for GA and these 2 crate series pushing there garbage racing. Whomever deleted my post, remember the fans gave you the position your in today.

        Spot on dirt crazy! People talk about the health of this sport and then the hottest topic is who goes to these million dollar teams? How can a weekend racer compete with Landers, Double Down, Wells, Rocket house car. They cant, they are supposed to just show up, fight for the few remaining spots in the big race and be there so people can point out the health of the sport is great, we had 88 super lates show up. When is all reality 6 to 8 cars had a legit chance to win the race.

          I drive by the speedway twice a day. There are no trees. Believe it or not, the place is in better shape than it was when they quit racing. The speedway is used for a raffle bash during July, they’ve built a nice new bathroom and built walking bridges across the creek. However, the track itself needs a ton of work. The track needs reconfigured, no way would the racing be any good if they leave it the way it is, it wasn’t then and wouldn’t be now. They’ve received some bleachers that haven’t been installed yet, they need lighting, catch fence, guardrails, more parking, etc. it’s going to take a ton of work.

            Well now we know it’s clearly Pennsboro. It says revived in 2024 though. Wonder if they really plan on working on it all next year. We will see what happens!

              I thought it had to do with somebody building a new Atomic Motor Speedway and he was getting involved with that.

                    People sure do love their half mile tracks.

                            I’d rather see a half way decent race than the old Pennsboro.

                                Some things are just better off left as they are - Pennsboro is one of them.
