I'm asking this question because I don't know the answer.

Need facts not guesses or speculation.

Drop a line to Allan Brown the former publisher of The National Speedway Directory. He will be able to answer any questions you have.

I think speedwaysonline.com might be a good place to look. Just a guess, I think maybe California.

I just counted 46 dirt ovals in Pennsylvania.

He stated "per capita". that means one dirt track for every 30 people.

Too bad, always liked running into him at the races. I'm sure he will still be there just not roaming the stands selling books.

The company that makes the book now is out of the Chicagoland area I have a copy of the 2010 edition of the National Speedway Directory. I have copies going back to 2002. I got the book every year since 02. Allen is still an advisor to the book publishers I ran into him at Illiana a year or so ago.
