Default Re: Trends In Our Sport

Bret, how about Pennsylvania tracks? As best as Dad and I can come up with, there were fourteen tracks that ran, at one time, in PA. Six are still running.

1. Maple Grove
2. Numidia
3. Beaver Springs
4. South Mountain/Quarter Aces
5. Pittsburgh Raceway Park (Keystone)
6. Lucky's Dragway (Erie)

The eight that closed:
1. Sunset Raceway (Mercer)
2. Skyline DRagway (New Castle)
3. New Bethlehem
4. Peterson Memorial (Altoona/Tyronne)
5. York US 30
6. Pittsburgh Int'l Dragway (Cecil)
7. Pocono Drag Lodge
8. Vargo Dragway (Perkesie)

Ohio and WV we could only come up with three each that closed. In Ohio, Howland, Meander and one up by Toledo, Glass City?). WV Fairmont/Eldora, Princeton, and Winfield. I'm sure there are more, in each state, those are just the ones we could remember (many closed before I was born in 1979, sadly).
