Hi Murray, Thanks for your note. Sadly, a lot of good tracks have closed over the years. It’s very difficult to make running a short track a profitable business. Just about every aspect of short track racing from the promoter to the racer to the car owner to the fan is expensive. Additionally, there are not enough places to generate revenues to cover all of the expenses. I frequently say to people that I see short track racing going the way of the drive-in movie. As we think back on our experience at the “drive-in” we usually have fond memories. I hope short track racing doesn’t fall into the same category as a dying business but I fear it will. Take care, Randy

Rolly,

Yes, I went to the Castrol Speedway for the first time back in 2007. It was my 1,200th lifetime track. I have not posted my review of the Castrol Raceway yet but will do so shortly since you mentioned it. I also went back to Castrol Speedway in 2014 to see racing on their road course track and to see Steve Kinser race with the World of Outlaws one more time before his retirement from full-time WOO racing.
