Hey guys, Don't forget the weekend right after Jungle Park is the Winchester Old Timers weekend at Winchester Speedway. Two day event. Midgets on Saturday night and Sprint cars on Sunday with a bunch of Vintage cars on the track Sunday. Oct 3-4, 2009.
On a note about some old speedways, how about the 'Hole" in Columbus, In. Careys Ranch south of Greenfield, Indian Lake NE side of Indy, and the New Castle Speedway ( not Mt Lawn) in New Castle. Dusty |

Dusty Goggles,was the Indian Lake track you mentioned the one that was east of Indianapolis on hwy 40, or the old National Road? The track was located on the south side of the hwy and I think it ran midgets in the immediate post-war years of 1946-1947. Do you have any information on the old Hoosier Motor Speedway that was located 'somewhere' on south Meridan Street in Indianapolis. In his book 'Gentleman Start Your Engines' Wilbur Shaw mentions this place.
