These long winter days make me think of my days as a "track hunter" finding Ohio's forgotten speedways. I have tracked down and located the remains of over 50 forgotten tracks over the years and thought you all may enjoy some photos.

These are of New Bremen Speedway in August of 2003. The track was leveled less than 2 years ago. I always held out hope that it would reopen ......... but never again now.

It was Ohio's first track built for auto racing and the first track in Ohio to try night racing. If my memory is correct, it opened in 1926. Steve Kinser won the last race, a WoO sprint race in 1981 and I believe that was when WoO still ran some non wing races!
