@dwc4343 Make that a LARGE fight to keep the track. It's not gone yet, not if we can help it! Screw Bobby Hamilton Jr. He has done more damage in less time than any lease holder/ promoter before him ever has.

Great video. Wished I could find more of these. That idiot mayor Karl Dean is going to tear it down. There's still a small fight going on to keep the track, but I'm sure it's gone this time. What a waste of history and a great shame. And a great loss to the racing community. I can't afford to drive to another asphalt track, so I guess I have to go back to dirt.

I remeber a Sunday afternoon at Salem Speedway in 1960, I watched cars that looked just like these do, it was most likely an ARCA race. Frank kimmel's dad Bill Sr. ws fast up there as was Chargin Charlie Glotzbach. I bet they were a handful to drive, no power steering and what they had was so damn slow you better let caster steer it for a if it gets loose. Come to think of it they didn't run much caster, they were too hard to turn if ya did. Those old cars hauled some serious ass.

Beatelsnut, Ford (Starliners) won more NASCAR/ Grand National races for 1960 than Chevy did!

Thanks for the film. Those 348c.i. Chevrolets sure can fly

It is so nice looking at cars with fins.
Love The Footage this is NASCAR and what it is made of not money drivers racing for pride.
