You wanted a 1/2 mile track that would struggle to get cars? We see where WVMS is currently at. -

I've watched a lot of really good racing on bullrings. Everyone of us has made comments on how aero is killing racing. I didn't expect this, but if done right, it should produce good racing. Only time will tell, bringing back the track has always been wishful thinking, this time it's happening and that's a good thing.Comment

I find these plans pretty interesting. A lot of the flavor of the old place is still there. The big old track with the bridges, the hillside and the creek still retains a shape around the facility for nostalgia I think it is a pretty smart design for utilizing the space available for pits, parking and camping. If they do the bull ring right they should be able to produce good racing there (especially with today's cars), something most folks said was absent from the big narrow track of the past.
This could be the smart way to do it after all. It will take money to get this done right but it would have taken a whole lot more if the track was the original configuration and building new bridges was involved. The races I've watched from WVMS (on Flo/MavTV) have not been good. What would you have had with the old track being rebuilt?
Good luck to them. Hope they pull this off right.Political correctness,...is the inability to speak the truth about the obvious.Comment

A 1/4 mile makes way, way more sense in that part of the world.Comment

WVMS was never a good venue in my opinion. The only way that tracks survives is if someone comes in with a D9 and cuts it in half.Comment

Would be cool for them to offer camping on the actual big track that weekend……nostalgic and would be something the campers would probably enjoy with the experience of that first big race back.
I know I sure would.Where is the move over flag when you need it?????Comment

The last time Pennsboro Speedway ran the internet was just kicking off. The true .COM was never used. As of today the official website is up at pennsborospeedway.com
Pretty bare but like many things in the background, it is another step in the process for this rebuild. Websites might be old-school these days but as a former web developer (that started in the industry through the world wide web) this is rad.
New Podcast out tomorrow. Things are happenin' and earth is about to move.Nathan Stephens
