I wonder how many tracks you could think of when you first started going to races are now strip malls,or sub-divisions?,,, I can think of several around here that urbam sprawl has consumed.

Thanks for the shout out Barry.

I admired and idolized in the 50's and 60's the likes of Tommy Henner$hitz, Bob Sweikert, Eddie Sachs, Foyt, McCluskey, Don Branson, and Jud Larson. But my favorite as a youngster was always Hurtubise.

Some of my early tracks I went to that are gone are Cincinnati Race Bowl (my first midget race in '55), Dayton, New Bremen, Glen Este Speedway, and the original 16th Street Speedway.
