At first the developers wanted the track to co-exist with their proposed development. That’s not true anymore. The future of @GPSspeedway1 is very very uncertain. Redevelopment looms.

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.

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.

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.
