- It's been since 1973 since I set foot inside Williams Grove Speedway, but that all changed when I revisited the historic half-mile dirt track for the recent World of Outlaws Summer Nationals. I not only reconnected with my youth but I had great conversations with Eldora Million champion Logan Schuchart, Gio Scelzi, Donny Schatz, Brad Sweet and David Gravel. It was also interesting to hear from the local heroes...Lance Dewease, Freddie Rahmer and his dad Fred Rahmer. I even sneaked in an interview with "Ole Scruffy" Bobby Allen. Join me, the History Mystery Man, for another dirt track adventure with the World of Outlaws, this time at legendary Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania...and thanks for your support! #WilliamsGrove #LoganSchuchart #BobbyAllen #GioScelzi #BradSweet #DavidGravel #LanceDewease #FreddieRahmer #WorldOfOutlaws #DirtTrackRacing #SprintCars #Gettysburg
Great mix of racers interviewed. Rural America. The heartbeat of USA. Thanks Don
You're always welcome; thanks again! HMM
Great video Don! Williams Grove is the Granddaddy of dirt tracks in the East! I appreciate you got the Rahmers, Lance, and Old Scruffy in this video. Scruffy stories abound in these parts! Not many people know how smart Bobby Allen is. The man is an amazing mechanic! Speaking of which, thanks too for showing Kreitz Racing’s 90 year old engine builder Davey Brown, Sr. He too is a legend in Pennsylvania.
Next time you’re in the area, do visit the Eastern Motor Racing Museum near the track. The curator, Lynn Paxton, is a man you need to get on video. Lynn was a great sprint car driver, and the museum has cars that Mario, AJ, and many other greats have driven.
Thanks again! Great work, as usual.
PS - Since this video was filmed, Lance Dewease was let go by Kreitz Racing. Lance is already running for another team.
Thanks Edward...greatly appreciated. Love your idea on the Eastern Motor Racing Museum and an interview with Lynn Paxton...that would be worth a return trip to PA yet this year...and I'd get to go back to Gettysburg, which is one of my all-time favorite places. Lance is a legend...HMM
Thanks! Don, great job and keep up filming the interesting and informative stories. Thanks again, Logan
Thank you so much! HMM
Hello Don. There is something special for how you create these sprint car videos. They are so close to how I feel when I'm there in person. I've never attended a race in PA. Only OH. Trust me, it's on my radar to get over to the Grove, Port, Lincoln, etc. etc. Was really cool you could revisit this place after so many years. What a fine collection of driver interviews. I always pick up more of their personalities from your productions. I'm anxiously awaiting for my favorite race weekend......4-Crown at Eldora. A way for me to see all the series, types of sprints in one shot. Thanks for this video. I enjoyed ever single second of it!!
Thanks Chuck! I appreciate your thoughts. Now I'm heading to my calendar to make sure the 4-Crown is on it! I'm probably going to Port Royal late summer. I want to back to Gettysburg...HMM
@@HistoryMysteryMan if I could go to one pa track, it would be Port Royal. I need to just go Don!
@@chuckg6039 I may go to PR for the WoO later this summer...
Don, thanks for showing those of us outside USA the places & faces of sprintcar racing.
You're welcome Chris. Where are you from? Thanks for watching...HMM
Thanks H.M.M. everyone of your shows tops the last one,but in all honesty,every show you do is equally great and I truly enjoy your style of interviewing and reporting.These shows are history being made in real time,people will be watching these program in the year 3000,saying,man glad Don made these videos.Take care sir,and again,keep up the good work
Thanks again, Mark. And thanks for your awesome compliments about the longevity of the videos; I never really thought about that. Stop by anytime...HMM
Good that you made it to our neck of the woods
Loved it...love Pennsylvania...beautiful state. I'll be back! Thanks...HMM
One of my biggest thrills was becoming an Honorary member of the Pennsylvania Posse. I got my patch and decal while I was in Reading on business. Cool bunch of friends back in the day. A huge Bobby Allen fan #1. I still have the cooler with the decals.
Awesome memories! Thanks for sharing them here. Three cheers for "ole Scruffy"... HMM
Back in '83, you could stand on the edge of that tunnel in the inside of turn one. My favorite spot on Earth.
Whoa! That'd be quite a view! Thanks for watching...HMM
Great interviews HMM, U never disappoint. Thank you Sir for taking me places I would have never seen other wise. U always ROCK HMM.
Thanks again, Trent; I really appreciate you...HMM
Thank you for coming out and doing my favorite track. Coming here on and off for 4O years. Hope you can come again. Maybe when USAC is here next June. Sorry I missed meeting you in person
I'll be back!
@@HistoryMysteryMan great in between the Grove and Gettysburg is a Racing Museum in York Springs. It is a must stop next time. Eastern Museum of Motor Racing. You won't be disappointed. Hope next time we can meet in person. 🏁
Great video as always Don lots of interesting interviews, i enjoy these videos immensely, i like to watch them when the kids are in bed you know that quite time pure relaxing entertainment, Thanks to the volunteers at these tracks ,thats real dedication turning up there each night with their own vehicles pushing sprint cars,
Bobby Alen would be a cool out of season interview. What a guy for his age, he must have some great stories that need to be preserved.
Thanks again, Gareth...so appreciated. I'm glad you find these videos entertaining...and relaxing! Stop by anytime. Great idea on Bobby Allen! I'd invest a trip back to PA just for that...maybe squeeze in Gettysburg...HMM
I certainly enjoy the strolls through the pits ! Always a good time in the pits, even after a bad night. Yes sir, don't hit them too hard and keep them in front of you and you can run a push truck. Some of do get nervous when their foot isn't controlling their speed!
Thanks again for the entertainment, education and for the memories you stir back to the my ! ( Sure wish I could fire ole Slammin Sammy again, just to get the bird one more time ! )
Happy Trails and Safe Travels !!
Ha! Funny stuff! Thanks again Robert...the push truck ride was a hoot, and so was the driver. Keep the feedback comin! HMM
great video again, keep them coming. You have a wonderful talent for capturing the here and now. Love it sir.
Thank you so much. Your words help keep me inspired to keep on keepin' on. HMM
Great video as always. I really liked the ride along with the push truck driver. The first time that I was at the Grove was in the early 70's and they had over 50 cars. And I think Bobby Allen won. I want to thank you for all the hard work you put in . And Keep up the good work.
You're welcome oldjunkman; I appreciate your continual feedback. Helps keep me inspired to keep going...this old man gets worn out. Thanks again! HMM
I think I have a few years on you I will be 75 Aug. 16,
@@oldjunkman4864 Spring chicken!
Great video HMM!
Especially like the interview with the push truck drive.
Glad to ser you back and I hope all is well with you.
Thanks Roger...all good here! HMM
@@HistoryMysteryMan glad to hear that!
Interviewing the push truck driver was really cool. I always wondered about these guys and if they were using their own vehicles.
Thanks again, Nick...greatly appreciated. HMM
I absolutely love the Grove, it's a 3-hour trip for me. My Dad's car ran the Grove as well as my car. Wish I knew you were coming east. Would have liked to meet you. Keep up the good work.
I'll be coming back; I want to go to Port Royal too. And, I didn't get enough of Gettysburg...wanna do the Battle of Antietam (MD) too. Be glad to meet you...thanks. HMM
Sorry I missed you that Friday. I didn’t get there until Saturday. So happy you got to do Williams Grove. Mechanicsburg is a very cool little town. Gettysburg is my go to town several times a year. Hope you enjoyed it 🇺🇸🏁
Thanks...I loved it. Wanted to go back Saturday but Gettysburg was calling my name and I couldn't resist. I'll be back...wanna do Port Royal too. HMM
@@HistoryMysteryMan June USAC has the Pa Storm at the Grove and Saturday at Port Royal. If you do Port, get a hold of Keith Kauffman. His house is loaded with great Racing history. He also can help with a tour of Port Royal too including the track. Great little town and beautiful scenery
@@mariebeasley1269 Man I love your ideas! Do you know how I might reach Mr. Kauffman? Thanks again, Marie...HMM
Another good video Don . Thanks
Thanks again, Wayne...always appreciated. HMM
Thanks for taking us along to another race track and some of the surrounding area. Always look forward to your videos and a chance to hear from some of those who are often up front as well as those who are not among the "big name" drivers. It's also nice to hear from some of the people who helped build the sport to what it has become.
Thanks again! Yeah...I love covering the local drivers and those who do not get much airtime. I wish more people would watch when I do. I appreciate your feedback...keep it comin! HMM
Cool video 👍
Thanks...I appreciate it! HMM
great video
Thanks UncleBones! HMM
shoulda went to lincoln and port royal too :)
I'll be coming back for Port Royal for sure; I'll check Lincoln too. After all, he is my favorite President...thanks. HMM
Instead of going to that hole in the wall, you should go to port royal lincoln speedway B a p s SE
Sailing's grove
I'm coming back for Port Royal. I thought Williams Grove was super nice. HMM
@@HistoryMysteryMan Please go to eastern museum of Motor racing in LAT MORNE.
Very well known museum
If you don't get nervous you might need a check up from the neck up
I'll buy that! Thanks...HMM
Sorry i want to be honest nad i prefer to see more small towns with nice people i am a little bit tired of races and race tracks.
I understand. Got a few pieces on the way...Waterville, Ohio and Gettysburg, PA. Thanks! HMM
Great show
Thanks Benjamin...greatly appreciated. HMM
