Grandview was one of those tracks that I'd wanted to visit back when I was living in Middletown, PA. But I never traveled that far since at the time I was a typically broke college student. They would sometimes show highlights of races at that track on the local TV station sports reports.
I did get to see some sprint car races at Williams Grove (it was much closer). Also at Silver Spring (which closed in 2005 - I was there in the early 1980s).
The first race I attended at Williams Grove turned out to be a WoO race - and back then the Pennsylvania Posse (the nickname of the local racers) could give the WoO teams all they could handle. In the feature, for several laps, Keith Kaufman (driving the Weikert #29) led - followed closely by Steve Kinser, then Lynn Paxton, and Doug Wolfgang. (Paxton was a several time track champion at Williams Grove.) They all kept trying to slide job each other, but none of it worked. Then suddenly Kaufman hooked a rut going into the third turn and flipped off the track - landing on his wheels on the elevated thin grass strip between the track wall and the catch fence / advertising billboards. They had to use a crane to get his car out of there, and of course he was done for the night. Kinser won, followed by Paxton and then Wolfgang. After the races it was cool going into the pits and watching Karl Kinser lifting kids in and out of Steve's ****pit, and getting to talk to all of the drivers.
Another interesting thing about that night was how I found the track. I'd left home with a general idea of where it was, but wasn't sure... then at a big intersection in Mechanicsburg I saw a truck pulling an open trailer with a beat-up sprint car on it (#99), so I followed it to the track. Since it was going to the pit entrance I ended up seated on the back side of the track - and in perfect view of Kaufman's flip off the track. I was never ever to verify it, but that #99 might have been a Jan Opperman ride and he might have been driving... but it didn't fare very well, which might be expected if Opperman was still driving because this would have been after his bad wreck in the Hoosier 100 that he never really recovered from.
