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.

😔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.

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.
