Action Track is not much bigger but wider and more banked. Hopefully the fences are reinforced as the track viewing areas and pit area is up against the track surface. Wouldn't be surprised the USAC East Coast guys turn out in good number because the 410 engine is not an advantage here, the 360's will hold their own. Mark Smith won a winged 410 race there with a 360. Time will tell how this one plays out.

The old PRP Portsmouth Raceway Park (Same place it is now) Just the track was very small, maybe a bit bigger than Lawrenceburg Motorcycle speedway. I seen a all star show there winged and seen winged sprints totally back em in. Totally awesome. Lots of attrition and Mark Keegan won.

Look up Willow Grove Pa. It’s exit 343 on the turnpike. When looking at a map and knowing I have to go home after each race for work, you will see that it’s how you go to get anywhere in decent time from where I live. Central Pa is 100 miles west of here. Thanks for the help. The first three nites and Kutztown really aren’t in Central pa at all. Again thanks for the help.

Load up that E-ZPass, pick up your dad, and head to the track. Always enjoy the banter we share Steve. Hope to see and chat with you at a few more in '23.

Ah, hell.... half the fun of driving somewhere is wondering if you are going to make it.

Will do. It’s always good to see ya whether it’s out there or back here. EZ pass is a wonderful thing with all of the money we save. I’d cringe to see what the toll bill would be without it. 💰

I can attest the non-highway roads in the mountain areas of PA are ridiculous and borderline unsafe especially at night.

I attest to this as well. It really gets bad if there is fog involved. You have to grow up with it , so you’re use to it otherwise it’s tough to deal with. Too many switchbacks.

OK, if you're used to flat & straight roads, I guess

I have nothing to complain about with the schedule as long as the Action Track gets it’s races. Now just figuring out which ones to go to. I was hoping, even though I had no reason to think it would happen, that Joliet would be on the schedule. It’s 2 hours to my closest sprint car track for me, and 66 is 45 minutes. That’s nothing for my buddy Oppweld, but I just don’t like driving home more than that anymore, it lessens the enjoyment factor. And enjoyment is why I go!
