End of an era.
The West Coast racing scene has suffered a giant loss.
The winds of change are blowing hard on the sport. Cherish these places before they are gone.

The clock strikes midnight, the final ever fireworks show has started. Irwindale Speedway has officially, hosted its final ever racing event.

😔Dirt is moving.
All in the name of what they call “progress.”
“While developers claim South Carolina needs more housing, retail & warehouses, racetracks like Myrtle Beach & Greenville Pickens fall victim. Which one is next?“ @MatthewDillner

Stage one is said to not effect the footprint of the speedway.
(Opinion) However, we learned when attending the zoning meeting that the plan includes a drive path that cuts across the land. Tactical. It’s beginning. - Matthew. upstatebusinessjournal.com/square-feet/gr…

UPDATE THREAD @GPSspeedway1 Pickens County zoning public hearing:
Well attended by racing community.
A small victory. Land sale not complete. Re-Zoning for a section of land (phase 1 - Manufacturing buildings) was passed w/ an amendment to not touch the track.
However….

Hey…
Show up.
@GPSspeedway1 needs us.
Don’t let a historic track become warehouses without letting your voices be heard.

Awful. Almost made a return but the pandemic eliminated the comeback race. It was so close.

Sportsman car driven by Floyd Powell. In 1961 this became the first car to go to Victory Lane at Augusta Speedway (the dirt 1/2-mile) which was constructed prior to the road course.

Renovations well underway at historic @HinchliffeStad. The #LostSpeedways show on @peacockTV featured this Stadium. So happy to see progress.

Had the chance to speak with @GregoryAdamsBC about @Myndfuneral and @LostSpeedways and how they coincide in my life. Love anytime I can bring music and auto racing together. I also love that I can talk about @DaleJr and @dronecoma in the same interview northerntransmissions.com/cloakroom-fill…

Hinchliffe Stadium, best know as a Negro League Baseball Stadium, was also the epicenter (Paterson, NJ) of the east coast’s Midget Car Racing boom. It was featured in season one of #LostSpeedways w/ @DaleJr on @peacockTV
Fantastic to hear it is getting the attention it deserves.

The war that nearly ended the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Most people don’t realize it was nearly a Lost Speedway. The images are haunting.
