In Pennsylvania : Challenger, Thunder Valley, Latrobe, Ebensburg, Windber. In Maryland:Cumberland, MD (supposed to open this year). These are all the tracks we used to race. I can remember when we had to decide what track we wanted to go to.

Two sad things for sure are a ghost race track, and a ghost drive-in theater of days gone by.

but how about a drive -in turned to race track

Morgantown, WV Speedway at Cheat Lake. Been closed probably 35 years or so. Now a giant convenient store/gas station and a holy roller mega church.
Interstate/ I-79/ Brennan's across the road from the Rocket shop. Now a parking lot for an auto auction.
I started my lifelong addiction to dirt racing at these two tracks as a child in the early 60's.

North Alabama Speedway in The northwest corner of the state. It is the raciest facility in the AL/TN/MS area. Actually it has been for sale. But sadly the owner wants $850,000 for a track that hasn't been open a full season in years...

Green Valley Speedway, original home of the Bama Bash......Still pi$$es me off!!!!! Who the he!! ever Harker sold it to, LITERALLY hated the track so much, they made a lake out of it......Have good health eating those fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sold it under the premise of a residential development and the only new houses on the property are shooting houses for the hunters. And for what it's worth, it's for sale again.
