Fan in San Diego Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 Racing on dirt is way more fun. My Dad used to take me to a dirt track somewhere in So. Ontario. I think it was called Cayuga Speedway, anyone else remember that place? Is it still there?

Nanker Posted September 3, 2012 Posted September 3, 2012 In the early sixties, one of my uncles took us to the Monroe Co. Fairgrounds to see the Friday night stock car races. One of the cars flipped over on a turn. Uncle hops over the wire fence, opens his jackknife and cuts the rope that tied the driver's door down and gets him out. Those were the days.

Yeah as a tyke in the mid sixties I lived near lake Placid, NY and there was a dirt track just about in our backyard. Local rivalries where so Strong there would be fights in the stands over which driver cheated who. As you say different day's. Not sure I even remember a fence. Unlimited CI injected Alcohol burning cars thowing dirt all over the crowd. What a blast!!

Just Jack Posted September 4, 2012 Posted September 4, 2012 There's three dirt tracks in the Syracuse area... Brewerton Speedway http://www.brewertonspeedway.com/ Fulton Speedway http://www.fultonspeedway.com/ Weedsport Speedway (though it appears closed) http://www.dirttrackdigest.com/DTD/index.php?/topic/45400-weedsport-speedway-reopening-wednesday-oct-3rd/ And there's talk of a new track being constructed near Central Square... http://centralnewyorkracewaypark.com/index.html
Jim in Anchorage Posted October 5, 2012 Author Posted October 5, 2012 Love it at the 2:49 mark the courtesy Ford dragging a gas can on the track. Notice the sponsors on the cars. Joe's garage, Smith Chevrolet ,etc. Not the UPS, Lowe's, Budweiser stuff you see today. Racing was far more real in those day's. Not the pretty boys you see today that can't change a tire but look good on TV.
DrDawkinstein Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Im not a huge NASCAR fan, but would love to make it to a race. Living in Atlanta, I have no excuse for not getting there yet. I cant watch it on TV, but being there is pretty exciting. We used to go to the Holland Speedway as kids in the 80s-90s. Always fun.

section122 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Just Jack the Weedsport Raceway is a great place to catch a race. Very small with a chance to meet drivers (if you have kids). I didn't realize they were closed and think it may only be closed for that race series.
