The old Fairbury track wasn't much bigger than Macon. They reconfigured it around 1989. They lengthened the straights to the west and moved the back straight out. The old track was really tight and narrow, but mostly rough. Only dirt track I ever saw that didn't have a grader. Oh yeah, it was dark too. Especially off of turn 2. It's so much better now.Support WEEKLY racing......while you still can!

Agree. None of the tracks mentioned are nowhere close to being as small as Macon or Belle Clare. Their might be another 1/5 mile track out there somewhere, but they are not running Supers on it.Originally posted by AllenK View PostThey're not as small as Macon or Belleville,but I have seen Supers run at 67 Speedway near Texarkana,Arkansas,and Riverside in West Memphis,Arkansas. They're both bullrings for sure!

There's at least 2 of the 1/5s out here in Caifornia; Ventura Speedway which runs Sprints and Modifieds as the top classes and the Orland Speedbowl in northern Cal. A spec sprint class and the Super Stocks, our class, were the top classes. Unfortunatley, Orland closed, again, last June but is reopening, again, this year and is renamed Sacramento Valley Raceway but are going to more lower buck hobby type classes so, sadly, we're out. It was a fun place to run on off nights at our regular haunts. But no SLMs at either. It's darned hard to find the Super Lates much of anywhere out here as the tracks mosty seem to be obsessed with Sprints. Too much travel for too few bucks is killing them.

Peoria Speedway, which gets a lot of my money is small also (1/4 mile I think) but every time I go to Macon and step inside and look at that track, it's like dammm!8/13/16

Ok. These are not Supers,but check out this video at around the 3 minute mark...
I-40 Speedway right next door to the old Atomic Speedway... You can see the old buildings in the background.
That has to be one of the smallest tracks to race full size cars...
Cottage Grove in Oregon looks pretty small also. I found some cool old vintage races from there also!

Yes, back in '08 or '09 sometime to build a truck terminal. Here's a link to the I-40 raceway Facebook page.Originally posted by 25drtrkr View PostDid they finally tear down Atomic? That was one of my fav tracks.
