Atomic Speedway Tennessee

[MRM]

After looking at the history link on dod, my first time was 2000. They had 2 one day shows.

Who was running it then?

Carson Branum ran it then.

Tazwell is my favorite track because of the high bank's and speed

Mr. Adams just wasn't the right guy for Atomic and he took the money and ran.

It was heart wrenching for me. I never want to lose a track but Atomic held a lot of special memories for me. It was the last place I was able to have my dad at for one of our races. I saw so many great shows there. And I agree Carson was quite the show man. Anyone remember the armored truck as a pace truck? Brilliant. Ahead of his time.

I was at one of the last big races there I was sitting in the reserved seating below the control tower LOL I'LL NEVER FORGET HOW THE STAND ' S WOULD SHAKE (kinda scary at the time )

Atomic was my favorite track, saw some great SAS and HAT races there. Leebo and I used to make about 6 trips a year to E Tenn for Atomic and Bulls Gap. Mr. Turner had The Gap back then and it was great.

Those were the good ol days....the guy that owns the gap now has ran it into the ground... waiting for it to close next...sad
