Wow. Thanks for the memory lane trip, Chief! I used to live in Saratoga Springs.

Yeah, unfortunately the old track at Hartford is not coming back. They have already moved too much Earth around and removed Turns 3 and 4. Now, I-96 Speedway could physically still be re-established as a half mile, but we'll be lucky if the joint stays open and afloat as it is now.

Winnebago County Fairgrounds in Pecatonica WI. Another 1/2 mile. Badger raced there in early 90s and different versions of Dirt Late Models. The fair board has some interest in auto racing still...

Terre Haute…always seems to rain out and not get rescheduled. Truly though, any dirt half mile big enough to handle them. We need more venues to keep the series viable.

WV Motor Speedway. The only non IL track big enough to hold em.

Sad thing is, I think it may be done again, Was getting huge crowds but sad counts.

Milwaukee Mile. I saw them race there in the 80's and it was terrific. Fingers crossed for next yr. before the Indy Car race.
