Larry Moore told me when he raced there they didn’t have electricity. It was famous for being a dump with character. Not sure how you’d “fix” it up?

I bet when Larry Moore raced there there were houses in that county that didn't have electricity.

Based on the old Late Model pictures I've seen from the place, the first step in fixing it up would be to buy a water truck.

The track has never had lights. The cost to bring this place up to today's standards would be astronomical.

Many years ago I’d went racing out east and was driving thru WV. I was close in proximity so I just happened to pull into the closed Pennsboro speedway. I’d heard it called legendary, so I wanted to see it.
I’ve never seen a race there, so I can’t judge that. But the facility looked like a cow pasture with a creek running thru it. It’s gonna take a huge investment to get this up to modern standards.

Guess what they found under the Governor's Mansion in West Virginia?
