[Slim_Shady]

Tarheel Speedway is on Davis Mill Rd. just south of Greensboro off Randleman Rd. Track is still there 1/4 mi paved. It has fam equipment and sheds built on the 1st and 2nd turns

[djSNUFFY]

Is the Reidsville track Rainbow Speedway ?

Dont know, Rainbow according to what I found ran only 2 years 77-78. The other Reidsville ran about 1948. 30 years between operations. Might be the same I am hoping someone "In the Know" up there will chime in.

[DOCCALLAHAN]

i know rainbow ran in 73 thats when lynn got his leg cut off by red justice lynn is my bro in law that used to run there back in the day

[DOCCALLAHAN]

im gonna ask him about some of these tracks and he will prob know of a few of them they used to go all over racing

[DoubleZero]

So far, I haven't found any evidence of Diamond on Flat Rock road, could be plowed under.

[DOCCALLAHAN]

i did see it on a sat view but not sure how old it was ill be lookin to try and find it but lynn johnson is gonna look at some of those track names and try and give so help on where they were he knows a few anyway he will get back up with me in a couple of days

[snowmanz34]

I noticed there wasn't an Asbury Speedway listed. My dad raced there in the late 60's. Does that ring a bell to anyone?

[BillyW]

Billy

[djSNUFFY]

[Soapman]

Motorcycles raced at Asbury 78 & 79. Does anyone remeber the address? I cannot...

[Soapman]

Does anyone remember Union Cross Raceway or Turnersburg Speedway? Motorcycles raced there. Any addresses or corrdinates available?

[Slim_Shady]

Soapman I think this is the Union Cross track. It's a 1993 image from Google Earth

[Soapman]

What are the coordinates of Union Cross in the previous photo? Thanks!

[Slim_Shady]

36"02'36.08" n 80"09'20.84 w

[Soapman]

Looks like large manufacturing facility adjacent to the property today. Is it the Dell plant?

[roundtrackracer]

Diamond speedway is in stokesdale on flatrock rd all the way to the end 4 or 5 years ago i was delivering lumber to a house on the road and me and a older fellow was talking about the track and he showed me were the track was its all growed up still there is the shape of the track...maybe we can go take pitcures of the old tracks and post them... Rainbow speedway is in reidsville with a mobile home in the middle of the track you would not think that it was a dirt track there..i hate to see tracks go under....sad days to see them close .....DIRT RACER FOREVER.....

[dirt12]

The track in Lumberton is off of 72, I know somebody that used to race there. I'll talk to my boyfriend and see if I can get some more stuff about it, exact location (I forgot the name of the road right this second) and pics and start a thread for it.

[311rebel]

Motorcycles raced at Asbury 78 & 79. Does anyone remeber the address? I cannot...
I thought it was located near .........................westfield nc.:DontKnow:

[djSNUFFY]

I thought it was located near .........................westfield nc.:DontKnow:

well that what my info said..but....1.5 miles east of Asbury is Asbury Speedway rd. We had a discussion on this track and the consensus was it was at the end of the road on the northern side...still looking for an aerial but till then here is best quess

[bigkid]

That sounds right, I raced MX there from like 86' to 88' or something like that. It was at the end of Asbury Rd. or something like that. and it was an old farm road that went down to the river. Probably don'tlook anything like a round track now, didn't look too much like one then. But the track was only like 10 feet or so from the dirt road. It was on the left side of the dirt road right at the end of state maintenance.

[Soapman]

Anyone have any info on Wayno's (wayne O's) Speedway. I know they were located in Western NC and ran motorcycles in the early 70's. Went there one time and was impressed. Old age has taken its toll on the details....

[#30fordracing]

how about the dirt track that was at the state fairgrounds in raleigh?

[dirtrak01]

hi anyone have anything about the Wadesboro track

[djSNUFFY]

hi anyone have anything about the Wadesboro track


Suppose to be off of US52, dont know if thats north or south cant find it on GE.

[jimdog]

This track was in va....old 58 speedway in the 50s...it reopened in 67,68,and69....I sold tickets there at the ripe old age of 12...in the 60's it was known as Danville speedway ...in va......

[pairg]

Is the Jacksonville speedway/Onslow Speedway the same as the Carteret County Speedway? Carteret is being rejuvinated. Will re-open (concrete) in 2010. People are buying "yards of concrete" as we speak; to re-pave the grand ole gal.

[DoubleZero]

No. The Jacksonville track was located in the Pumpkin Center community north of Jacksonville, and was in operation from the 1950's -1964. It is definitely a ghost track now. Carterette Co. Speedway is near Emearald Isle, and was is the site of the former kart track.

its a ghost now,..but its still there...out east side of danville,north side of 58,...be a white block building,..looks like a closed used car lot,..up over the hill behind it,...track sign fell down mid 80s....

[nctrooper107220]

What about east mountain speedway near fayetteville? wasnt it a go kart track??

[DoubleZero]

Yep, east mountain was a kart track, and I think the footprint still exists.
