OKLAHOMA
The Sooner State
From the travels and adventures of the “World’s #1 Trackchaser” All-Time Favorite Oklahoma Track: Tulsa Expo Raceway Current lifetime trackchasing state rank: 1 Best Memories: It would be difficult not to pick the “Home of the Chili Bowl”, Tulsa Raceway Park at my favorite Oklahoma track. I’ve been down there on three different trips. The Chili Bowl is an “event” not to be missed. I really enjoyed the figure 8 racing at the 77 Speedway & Arena in Newkirk. There are actually very few purpose-built F8 tracks in the world. I made the stop with son J.J. on a DRIVING trip from California to Jacksonville, Florida to see racing at the Clinton Motorsports Park. He was off to flight training in Florida for more than a year. The Will Rogers Raceway admitted seniors for no charge. Surprisingly, I’ve seen racing at five different indoor venues here. Carol and I saw a $10K to win street stock special at the Enid Motor Speedway and got our picture taken with the oversized $10K check. I’ve seen four countable tracks at the old line Hallett Motor Racing Circuit. I saw the inaugural race at the Heart of Oklahoma Speedway and then the track wasn’t around two years later. The Longdale Speedway started as a practice track for its owner and turned into one of the better short tracks in Soonerland. Saw the World of Outlaws sprint cars at the Oklahoma City Fair Speedway long before the fair board shuttered the track.
