Maple Grove Raceway
An 18 minute video of action from Maple Grove Raceway dating 1965-1982. As indicated in the few panels of history in the beginning, Maple Grove Raceway began car drag racing in 1962 and is still featuring drags today, including the yearly stop by the NHRA in September.
I also included a few stills from my own collection taken in 2017 and 2018 to highlight the change in the appearance of the track and the cars that now run on it.
The one thing I did not know from the history, is that the track originally started as a half-mile oval track in 1937 featuring sprint cars, motorcycles, and midgets!

Bob Hill takes a nasty tumble at Daytona in the 1996 ARCA race.

Plus Bob Hill's interview was interesting as well. If you like the video, please give a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel. I would appreciate it very much.

    Do all of your videos have music playing throughout them or are they narrated

    • @concepts1157
      @concepts1157 3 роки тому

      Right now, yes. Because I did not do the filming on many of my releases and I was supplied by a third party with a lot of the films used in my videos, narrating is difficult because of actually knowing what was going on at the time the filming took place. I have talked to a few older drivers about possibly doing some narrating, but once again so much time has passed since the films were shot that having accuracy and detail is difficult. In many cases I did research to try and be as accurate with identifying drivers as I could be. All the film I used in creating the videos was either 8mm or super 8mm silent film. I chose adding music instead of just leaving the soundtrack empty as I will not used canned track sounds. You have no idea how much I wished the films would have been SOUND.

    • @cjtrum74
      @cjtrum74 3 роки тому

      @@concepts1157 I totally understand the narration part. Would be nice to hear some about the drivers like who's in what car though. The obvious ones like Brightbill, Tobais, and Schneider are easy to get. Either way it's still history being preserved and we need to keep them relevant. Most of these tracks were well before my time but heard stories of Reading, Allentown, Nazareth but I love history especially racing history
