Greenville(IN) Speedway pics and stories???
 

anyone have pics or stories from this old track? someone posted in another thread that this track is still there but I think there was more than one track in that area??? Thanks!!

Re: Greenville(IN) Speedway pics and stories???
 

You are talking about the Greenville (Ohio) Motor Speedway. In the satelite image below you can see the current 1/2 mile fairgrounds horse track at the top center of the picture. Most people think that this was the old Greenville Motor Speedway. That is wrong. Other than some AMA motorcycle races, no motor racing has ever been held on that track.
If you look straight down to the bottom center of the picture you will see a dark green circular shape. That was the real Greenville Motor Speedway. The track was abandoned in the early 50s but never developed into anything else. This is as the track lays today.

By the way, mister indyracefan, that gigantic picture in all of your post is really quite annoying.

I tried to find the track in question a few years ago when I was at Eldora for the 4-Crown. That year it was quite rainy in the area. I found what I thought was the entrance to the track, but from the satilite photo I see it was the entrance to the old drive in theater directly to the north of the track. The area just off turn one that appears to be a semi-truck parking lot is a mobile home park. It's obvious from this photo that this is the way to gain access to the old track. If anyone is going ivestigate this place, I would recomend doing it in the fall or winter, it looks like it greens up to point that it would be impossible recognize any part of the track once the flora and fauna get going.

It was a pretty famous track in its day. CSRA ran there quite a bit.

The drive in theatre was built on what was the parking lot of the race track. The theatre was actually called the Speedway DriveIn.
The wood lattice grandstand was still standing up into the early 70s when it was finally torn down.

SORRY i meant Greenville (OH) Speedway! i guess you cant make a mistake or typing error here cause if you do you get jumped on! lighten up a little bit!! life is way too short to worry about ignorance...and where is it a law that you cannot be a stockcar fan and an open wheel fan??? LOL

Re: Greenville(IN) Speedway pics and stories???
 

It`s on US 150 between Floyd`s Knob`s ( where Dick Gaines used to own a motel ) and Palmyra In. ( home of Troy and Ember Link. ) I may be mistaken but I think Charlie Glotzbach may even have a Greenville In. address. I know the latter was pretty much a fendered classic but the first three guys have some open wheel heritage.

Just something Dad and I were chatting about while traversing through Greenville on our way to Louisville today.

Here is a photo of Wally Stokes at the old Greenville Speedway. Their were actually two Greenville Speedways. The remnants of the one today is the second one. The first one was the old fairgrounds track that ran back in th '20s and '30s.

Re: Greenville(IN) Speedway pics and stories???
 

How long is Duke going to be allowed to insult people on this board who disagree with them, call them names etc before something is done about it? I get ripped for my posts to him..... and was told to stop. He continues on unabated. Oh I forgot.... he was a driver from "back in the day". Enjoy your free pass Duke.

Oh.... based upon your posts on here we have a pretty good idea who you are. I will leave it there.

Re: Greenville(IN) Speedway pics and stories???
 

How about you go by way of the pasture...... tell your old racing stories..... tell us about the good ole days and about how much today sucks and call it a day? Practice what you preach about not being a posting jerk..... It's amazing how ANYONE who disagrees with you is a jerk or worse.

It's sad when Duke CALLS Devin to cuss him out....... I think I will call Devin and get your phone number and post it on here for the public to see. Lets see how you like people calling you ripping you a new ass because of what you post. You are not THE AUTHORITY on squat.... tell your stories.... state your opinions and move on without insulting folks as you go.

Good thing I will never be a moderator.... I would be showing you the door at this stage........ CALLING someone to dispute things is crossing the line.

Re: Greenville(IN) Speedway pics and stories???
 

FIRST OF ALL YOU HAVE NOTHING IN IT!!!!!!! YOU JUST LIKE TO CAUSE **** I NEVER CUSSED HIM!!!!! HE POSTED HIS NUMBER AND I ASK WHAT HIS PROBLEM WITH ME IS???????? ITS EZ TO BE A WISE ASS KNOW IT ALL AT 16! AND YOU ARE A JERK!!!!!!!!!! NO CLASS JERK!!!!! WHAT IS YOUR STORY??? YOU CAN DISAGREE WITH ME WHEN YOUR RIGHT!!!!!!

MAKES SENCE TOO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rolling:doh:

Re: Greenville(IN) Speedway pics and stories???
 

The simple word you are attempting to spell is "sense"..... but I'm sure that a brilliant fellow with the obvious grasp of spelling, grammar, capitalization, punctuation and other elements of the English language, such as yourself:moon:, already knows this.

Frankly, duke, everybody is laughing at you, not with you.

Re: Greenville(IN) Speedway pics and stories???
 

This used to be a pretty good message board - but it is headed the way of Hoseheads in a hurry

Re: Greenville(IN) Speedway pics and stories???
 

You are correct! I can't understand why Bill hasn't stopped Duke along time ago.

Re: Greenville(IN) Speedway pics and stories???
