Event Coverage Circle Track Racing In Upstate New York

It really doesn't get any better than that.....unbelievably cool and beautiful. I would give anything to have been there in the stands or better yet, behind the wheel. That just made my day....

 

Edit . . . says 1948-1950, and that's what it looks like. Beautiful.

What the heck were they stopping and getting out for at the flag stand?

 

Hearing that many unmuffled flatheads and inlines as they barrelled around the track would have been just that much better.

 

So that's where a lot of the good iron went

 

Not much banking on that track.

 

I would like to know where this was.There were LOTS of tracks in western NY,most gone now. Brings back my youth at Ransomville and Humberstone(Can).Names like Bill Rafter,Ken Meahl,Ivan Little, Merv Treicler,and my hero Chuck Boos #9

 

For guys who like to race on dirt there are still many tracks between New York and PA. where you can race.

Open wheel dirt modifies are alive and doing well for sure.

Great video and sure brings back many old memories from the good old day's.

Thanks Jimbo

 

Cool video. We as kids in the 60's use to go to Olean raceway in upstate NY when they were closed and climb all over the old jalopy race cars that were abandoned and shoved out back.We thought how cool it must of been to drive them. We loved going to see them race. Now the interstate highway goes through where the track was.

 

Frogtown, up by Messena, was doing well last time I was up there.
