Jim, somehow I knew you would draw that conclusion, I almost said "infusion", but thought I'd let it ride, and see what happened. Yeh, if it was from Ron, it would have been in an "empty" fruit jar, makes most folks sinus boil! Bob

The Ambrose table at a UMRA banquet was always in the back and always interesting. Never got the courage to test the Mason jar because I had to drive home that night.

That USAC race in 1982 was the last time I was at Chandler. Unless they've added seats, in the last 25 years I would agree they could not pay a $15,000 to win race without some type of major sponsor.

If I remember correctly, I ran a winged show there back in 99 while driving for the Hurst family.

Pretty fast track although it was pretty dusty. They paid us our $300 payout in one dollar bills.

the dark days of USAC..only 17 cars

So what's the track like?
1/4? etc?

I would say its bigger then a 1/4. It looks like at least a 1/3 or 3/8's but i am not sure. It has very long straights and extremely tight corners, it is shaped like a paper clip.

I would say 3/8 mile. All dirt. No clay. Rough and dusty. Lighting questionable.

Try www.chandlermotorspeedway.com, it's a 3/8, paperclip. Google has a satelite view. Bob

We ran a modified there most of the summer,tracks alot like paragon in. only with alittle more banking and alot darker,dusty sometimes and choppy. no way near enough seating to support abig paying purse. mini sprints ran there this past oct. pretty good show.ran weekly wing sprints in 99 or 2000 .Ive ran alot of tracks with our sprintcar and im not so sure about chandler.:checkered:

Has anybody heard where the name of this track comes from??
