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.
Seadog is being modest. He's been around forever. He was actually the chief designer of the famous "first" mirror on Ray Harroun's Marmon Wasp.
ps...Dave Weir and the gang are right, it was a lot of fun in those days. Especially if you were a kid. (see avatar).
