Everybodys lists help stir the memory banks - raced at 31, visited 10 more, missed going to a bunch!!!

LOL @ Chris. That's only HALF of your list and you KNOW it!

Mack Reeves · 01-22-2012, 09:39 PM

My list is up to 27 tracks... I will mention some that I have not seen here yet or maybe I just missed them... In Florida: Lakeland, Central Florida Racing Complex, Powerhouse Raceway in Panama City... In Alabama: Cottonwood and Montgomery.. In North Carolina: East Bend, Wilkesboro and can't remember if this was AHRA or ??? But we raced down pit road at the Charlotte speedway... This had to be early 70's.. In SC: I don't remember seeing Darlington... Plus a lot that others have already mentioned....

Charlotte was IHRA for both National Events and weekly stuff in the '70s, Mack. Prior to that, it held no sanction but still ran many races.

Mack, you are correct. Do you know there are people who will argue till you can't stand it no more that they never raced at "Charlotte Motor Speedway", Lowes Motor Speedway. Some who have heard of Concord think you are are always confused when you say you raced on pit road of the Motor Speedway. There was a serious bad accident there one time, can't remember who it was but they didn't make the left turn at the end of pit road where we raced.

That was Dave Anderson's death at the wheel of the "Pollution Packer" rocket dragster at the IHRA National Event in '74. He also took out two crewmen for a C/Dragster in the shutdown area.
