Well attended by racing community.
A small victory. Land sale not complete. Re-Zoning for a section of land (phase 1 - Manufacturing buildings) was passed w/ an amendment to not touch the track.
However….

Sportsman car driven by Floyd Powell. In 1961 this became the first car to go to Victory Lane at Augusta Speedway (the dirt 1/2-mile) which was constructed prior to the road course.

The emotions were real for so many at Oglethorpe Speedway Park tonight. Generations have attended & raced at the Georgia track. Victory lane for the final race was filled with tears. #LostSpeedways @LostSpeedways

Few years ago it would be a Super 7 Late Model Finale at Wayne County Speedway in Pikeville,NC tonight! Instead it sits quiet and the dirt washed away showing the asphalt surface. All the dirt is washed to the inside. @MatthewDillner @LostSpeedways

This is the only track left on my native Long Island. One of the gritty bullrings I grew up at. I’m insanely excited for this film to come out about @RiverheadRacewy WOW.
New trailer for @TheLastRaceFilm! A portrait of a small-town stock car racetrack & the tribe of passionate blue-collar drivers that call it home, struggling to hold onto an American racing tradition as the world around them is transformed by globalization & commercialization.

Used to go down there on ‘Dega weekends to see the All Pro Series race. And hear Bob Harmon do his thing. #goodtimes
