Great video, I do miss it..............

Legendary Track,in a Hillbilly Town. Having big Money Races to draw The Heroes of Dirt Super Late Model Racing. Awesome & Priceless.

Ccc😂

Is there a link to part 2?

So SAD to watch one by one ,speedways going and put out of business. By people moving into the area of speedways that don't like dust and noise. One by one disappearing. Reading fairgrounds, Flemington N.J. N.Y.s fairgrounds speedway and langhorn speedway in Pennsylvania and possibly Albany Saratoga speedway in upstate N.Y. Slowly but surely Nascar is micro managing itself out of business. In Rensselaer County N.Y. had 17 speedways ! Not one exists today .The cost factor of racing and combining with progress is detrimental to our sport

Bring back the half mile!!!!

Man. I’ve spent many years going to that track. Loved the Hillbilly 100 or the World 100. Brings back a lot of great memories watching these videos. Thanks for sharing.

Cool video, but what a depressing song. Lol

If you bought a hillbilly 100 or dtwc shirt, hat, or driver's shirt in early 80s to about 85, you bought them from us. If you bought a Southern Auto racing News or later Racing News, you bought it from me. A great time to be a young teen

who is ready for 2024

Stood on the back of Bernard Tripplets wrecker and watched the hillbilly 100 way way back in the day ,I was 17 then now I'm 67 and never forgot

This track will be back in 2024!

Allways went to the hillbilly and the dtwc some of the best Times their ,miss Stars their was good racing every weekend an hour drive from wheeling

Go smoking Joe meadows

Was really nice.....

I was there in (I think it was 1981) in the fall it was for some big purse late model dirt track race. Neal Bonnet showed up, I was there with my then husband (now my ex), he was a big racing fan and his best friend was a pretty good late model driver that was there to race. My husband was on his crew, so my husband had to be there. We rented a big travel trailer and drove it there from Maryland for the event. I didn't know any of the big name drivers by sight, the only Nascar driver I might have been able to recognize back then was Richard Petty but he wasn't there. I had zero clue what Neal Bonnet looked like. My husband had mentioned hearing Neal might be there to race. I got sick of the noise and all the people and activity around the track and wound up taking a walk away from the track, to try to get some peace and quiet for a bit. I was standing sort of on a slope looking toward the track when this nice older man walked up, he said hello and also faced the track, after a minute or two he asked me where I was from and told me where he was from, he which drivers I liked, I remember telling him I really didn't like car racing at all but my husband did. I told him I hated watching it in person and on TV and was always afraid someone would be hurt or killed. I told him I was there because my husband's hobby was working on his buddy's crew and that car racing took up a lot of my husband's free time. I remember him saying he could see how racing might interfere with family life. He said he was there because he really liked car racing a lot, probably too much. We had a nice fairly long chat, just the 2 of us, pretty far away from the chaos at the track, enjoying a bit of calm. Later that day my husband and I were walking and my husband said there he is,, there's Neal Bonnet and my husband pointed at the man I'd talked to on my walk. Neal Bonnet smiled, this big smile at me as he did the finger point gun thing towards me and said Hi there,, good to see you again. I'll never forget the look on my husband's face as he turned to me and asked how the heck I knew Neal Bonnet. Lol it was funny! I'll also never forget how quickly my mind was working to try to remember what negative things I'd said to Neal Bonnet about car racing..lol I also remember a band playing on some stage and a huge fist fight breaking out there, one like they always show happening in westerns in a saloon. It was crazy.. I also remember that a lot of people were drunk, and I remember some people being angry about the lack of promised free BBQ or something. It was cold there and 2 or 3 people died, or were rumored to have died after being taken away by ambulance. They had been in their camper that was parked close to our motor home, they turned on their heat and got carbon monoxide poisoning. My husband's friend didn't qualify due to some part failing on his car during his heat and Neal Bonnet placed low, I don't remember who won the race at all but I do remember that weekend. I was sad when Neal Bonnet died, he was a nice man even to people that were not fans of racing and he obviously didn't think of himself as a celebrity or behave like one. My husband said Neal had probably enjoyed talking to someone that treated him like an average Joe. We never went to Pennsboro again, tracks we went to the most were Lincoln and Williams Grove in PA. I was hoping to find video from that race in 1981 but I guess that was too long ago for there to be any online.

Thank you for posting this great video. Really cool to see a heat race and how good the competition was. Stay safe race fans and may God bless 🙏✝️

A movie came out in mid 2021 Lost Speedways Pennsboro Speedway: The Miracle

feature rolls out about 1am lol..sounds about right for Dirt tracks around here

I would love to see current late models on that old track......went there 1 time as a boy.....got to sit in Craig Briggs' #04

Will never forget about the Jim Dunn story about him beating some big names there

I've raced there before!, I helluva dirt track!. If I could win the lotto I'd move down there and buy the track and re-open it!, other than working and surviving that's what them people lived for on the weekends!. I live real close to donnie Moran and his track and root his son Devin on!. At 65 I'm on limited income but I play the lotto everyday so I'll keep hoping!.

Went there in the 70s thanks for the memories

Actually turn 4

Went there in the late 60 s. My little league coach took us. Pretty regular. Sat up on the hill in turn 3 I believe

I told guy bought my 300,000+ mile Ford truck. Told me It ended up there as the water truck. Wish didn't sell that TK. Was very good tough TK. Had original non-smoking engine in it when I sold it basically gave it to a friend.

Mr gene ferrell number 5 oh i miss them days missed building race cars

it is a damn shame the people in that town can't get their shit together and open that place back up it could make a lot of money for that small town aot of people don't know this but that track is owned by the town not a private person

I got a chainsaw, dozer and excavator.... bye bye trees! Tire to pack track boys! Why the hell did that track close? It looks like it was the talledega of dirt tracks!!!

Loved the footage of Swartz!

Did u see Bloomquist on his 4wheeler What a Pric lmao

I don't understand why they picked this song to use

They are supposed to be restoring it and opening back up one of these days

They are supposed to be restoring it and opening back up one of these days

Love these old speedway videos. Brings back some great memories.

Word of wisdom, just beacuse you like a song for any reason. Keep it out of your videos. I was at the very first race at the Pen . Sure would be nice to hear the announcer of the different years when they were speaking but you must not g.a.s.🙄

Very sad and humbling, a few tracks in my area including atomic speedway that use to set beside i75 have come to this!

Now that's dirt tracking at it's Best !!!!!!!!

Looks like it would be a cool place to restore and have races. I bet the peeps would surely come watch. I would.

scott bloomquist

So so many great o race tracks are closed and gone now cause way to many kids and people have gotten away from the great sport of racein if they would get off the computer some times and go watch it in person they would see how fun and great it is

Is this the track that you have to go through a tunnel to get to it? I remember the race haulers barely fit in it. It’s been many years since I’ve been there. Why did it close?

man i lliked how the dirt late model body templates looked back then compared to today. i mean they dont look crazy different or anything lol. its just something about them though.

I would love to see today’s late models run around this old place.

I remember every year someone would burn down the shit houses

Bring back the wedge cars

A lot of memories at that old hole. Drove up there from Atlanta area twice a year to see some great racin for several years. Old dirt turned white late in the feature..

My father & I sat on that hillside in 1988 and watched a 100 lap race. The 10 hour drive was well worth it 👍

THE GOOD OL DAYS Gone for ever 😞😞
