Here is something some of the older Nascar fans might like to look at. I really enjoyed it.

Starlite was the sister track of Lancaster Speedway ( my home track now...) Both tracks held NASCAR events during the 50's and 60's..... Dad used to work there and Lancaster, he sold pit passes, did some scoring, and i think flagged a couple of times. lot of good memories there. Some of the best in the south raced there every week....... sad to see it go.
If ya get a chance though, roll through the entire site... lots of neat stories there, and great pics ( even have a few of my uncles model pics on there, ( Jackie Sims)..... just a shame to see great tracks fall.........

Ovaltrakr posted this link on another board. It's a pretty neat site that shows you satelite photos of old tracks. Some still active, some still there and visible, and some that are completely overgrown and/or built over. Hundreds of tracks there

It's on the frontpage as well. I plan on going to the track sometime in the coming weeks. This is where Roger Penske made his first start.
I still can't believe I've never heard about this, it's only 40 minutes down the road.

There's also an old track in Aquasco, MD.
It's nothing but a broken road surrounded by trees and a collapsing tower. There are no trespassing signs up everywhere and the cops are quick to show up.
If I ever go, it'll probably be on a Saturday afternoon that was it doesn't look suspicious.
I was also told the owner of the Marlboro Motor Raceway uses the property but will give visitors a tour if they come on a Monday or Tuesday. At least he's willing to do that free of charge. That track has a lot of history. I wish I could've seen it back in the day.
Google Video has a silent clip of an SCCA race at the old Marlboro Motor Raceway.
