How many Indiana tracks have you raced at?

DaleDuBois · 9/11/12, 2:32 AM

Over the last 50 years or so I've raced at 34 Indiana tracks. Some are gone now and some didn't last the season. I raced both asphalt and dirt with the mod. Some tracks were so bad that I never went back after one time. I've posted the tracks that I've raced at, there might be more that I couldn't think of. I've been to lots more but never raced there.

Indiana Race Tracks
Anderson Speedway , Bakersfield Raceway Park, Bloomington Speedway, Brownstown Speedway, Chandler Motor Speedway, Decatur County Fairgrounds, Indiana State Fairgrounds, Kamp Motor Speedway, Lucas Oil Raceway park, Mount Lawn Speedway, Kokomo Speedway, Lawrenceburg Speedway, Lincoln Park Speedway, Montpelier Motor Speedway, Paragon Speedway, Salem Speedway, Scott County Speedway, Shadyhill Speedway, South Bend Motor Speedway, Speeds New Hope , Terre Haute Action Track, Tri-State Speedway, Twin Cities Raceway Park, Union County Speedway, Winchester Speedway – IN, Green County Speedway, Sweet Owen Speedway, Cataract Speedway, Martin County Speedway, US 30 Speedway, Montgomery County Speedway, Plymouth Speedway, Sullivan Speedway, Marysville Speedway.

The strange one is the Montgomery County Speedway, it wasn't in Montgomery County but in Putnam County. It was West Of Parkersburg on 231 but South of the Putnam-Montgomery County line about 100 feet in Putnam County. You went down a dirt road West of Parkersburg into Putnam County.

Guys I have you all beat, between midgets, sprints, and stock cars. Have run most tracks you guys listed, plus Fort Wayne, Avilla, Angola, Plymouth, Paris, Gas City, Speedrome indianapolis, Indianapolis Raceway Park and a couple I probably don't remember. I also ran twice as many throughout the USA from Florida to California. This just prooves two things, I am old and have gone around in circles getting nowhere all my life. Thanks for bringing up this subject Dale for it has been fun bring back memories.

bsmith8 · 9/11/12, 12:29 PM

You guys reminded me of a few more. Gas City (NS) Ft. Wayne coliseum (3/4 & Midget), Thunder In The Dome (Sp & Midget) and Loogoetee (WS & NS). Sam Sr. Loogetee was with HSCS which is now MSCS. I know you said IN tracks but I have also ran in Ill. Kentucky, Mich. Iowa, Ohio, Wisc. W. VA, FLA. , Tenn. T-Dega short track, Tulsa OK, Georgia. Man I am old.
