Indiana Dirt Tracks

All Of them. QUESTION?


So, I have been following this Facebook page "Speedway Car Cams" and they are doing t-shirts for each state and they are printing every dirt track on each states t-shirt.
Pretty cool in my opinion to see what they are doing.
I think it would be pretty cool to have a shirt with all Indiana dirt tracks pictured on it.

Find Kevin Ekert on Facebook and message him he can rattle off any closed tracks in Indiana for you.

There are as many closed tracks as what you have listed. I know of six or eight more in my area.

Angola was dirt for many years and Avilla was dirt before it was shuttered.

Do yourself a huge favor. Get on Ebay and buy a copy of Allan Brown's History of the American Speedway you won't regret it. There are many others in Indiana not listed there was Walnut Gardens, Carey's Ranch, a different State Fair track, .....they are all there with brief history.

I hate to tell you but his but I have every printed copy of that book “History Of America’s Speedways” and I’ve meet Alan in person. I loved the National Speedway Directory they made. If you know me by how I have posted here on IOW then you know I’m a diehard race fan.

In my open opinion that is one of the best Motorsports books ever made and printed. The history of racing in North America to me is truly a fascinating one. From board tracks to the high banks to the flat tracks to the small figure 8 tracks like the Indianapolis Speedrome.
