That Salem--
Salem Super Speedway, a .555 ---a big ol' 1/2 Miler, sitting inside of a golf course, is almost the best asphalt track in the Nation, racewise.
The big track was part of of a 4-part "hills" --
The 4 parts, Raceways/Speedways, are Winchester, Salem, Dayton, and Fort Wayne. The 4 biggest/high banked asphalt raceways at that time, all 1/2 mile in length, Fort Wayne was a 5/8 miler, instead.
Frank Funk was the builder of these mamouth/high-banked killers/high-banked Raceways.-----he had a dream......of the highest banked Raceways around.
Bob Swikert was killed here in 1956---
And Rich Volgler was killed also, in July, 1990.
Dayton Speedway, and Fort Wayne Raceway are long gone, but Salem and Wichester Speedways are still here today, with programs/cards going on all the time.
Bucket List for all. Go there, and you'll see why.Last edited by AB195; 09-13-2012, 11:05 PM.
