A little twist of the tracks you wish you could have seen thread. It's ok to mention tracks that are just closed as well. Once again no DA tracks! THAT will return to grace as well as N. Vernon.

The one I miss the most is the original dirt track at Memphis Motorpsorts Park. Before the little 1/4 outside of turn one of the paved track went under two years ago to provide for NAPCAR parking, the original track sat where the paved track is now. It went under three different configurations between 1987-97. A 1/2 for three years, a 1/3rd or so for about 4 years and then it had it's turns widened to make a very fast 3/8th's. Was fortunate to see the WoO race on all three.

I only saw one race at Godfrey, Ill. before it went under the dozer last year. Racey place that one was.

Another track I've been to that is up for sale right now and hasn't seen any action in the last couple of years or so is Delta Bowl Speedway in Tunica, Miss. MARA and SMRS ran a co-sanctioned show there along with the All-Star's in what was called the Hooker Hood Classic in June of 2003. Then in Oct. of that year the WoO held a weekend of racing.
