Wow I never knew Athens had this !

Loved what you put together. Helped me with an idea for a project. Cheers

Thanks that was one of those tricks …. Thanks for it ❤

Is there any update on it?

Great video! Great memories!

I spent many sat. Nights there as a kid. We used to ride on back of the wreckers to go get the cars after they wrecked. Hate its gone, was my favorite place to be unless pop was racing in jefferson.

Great video…the racetrack closed at the end of 1990 however not 92 I have pictures to document this.

Thanks for the coverage ❤ 👍🏁🇺🇸

Que lindo lo que se robaron los arias 😍😍😍😍

Great Video

Great video

Genius timing, great acting skills! :)

Wow, I never knew how much of a connection and impact that accident had on racetracks across the state. My dad's sister, my aunt that I never got to meet, was one of the spectators who died in that accident. It's insane how that one accident caused a ripple effect across all forms of racing.

Congratulations, Scott; I did some work for my Corporation and some personal projects. I'm curious about this competition.

far out man! that's Awsome!

Excellent video in every way.

Very well done!! I love abandon track videos

I found this on Google maps decided to look it up

Great idea for preserving the track. Much of oval track racing came out of bike racing. The great board tracks were constructed by velodrome builders. Many of the early drivers had been champion riders and of course many of the top NASCAR and Indy drivers ride for fitness. I often wish there was more of a two way street between the sports, or in this case one-way turning left!

Are people allowed to visit the track? Awesome video 🙏

Does it autofocus or you have to pull focus yourself?

Nice story, hope there is a future there. From the UK where 99% of our tracks are built on.

You do need to make more videos like this buddy.

I’ve watched both of your “Lost Racetracks of Georgia “! And I must say you have put together two masterpieces of capturing the nostalgia, the excitement, and the memories revisited by many race fans and competitors and those who made it all happen. My only wish is that you might continue this series …. Lots of states left ! Thanks again !!

Excellent! So glad this lost track is now remembered.

no IBIS, does not work to do movie type stuff on the shoulder

I live next door to this track

My Uncle, Mack Carter, raced here in the 70's and 80's. No. 46 most of his cars and No. 55.

Tootle's son use to be the flagman at my local track growing up, Corbin Speedway, but it, too, is now abandoned. :/

Went to many a race here as a teeneager!

Such great work! I'd love to learn more about the former tracks near my neighborhood (south Fulton county) namely: Ted Edward's Skyport Speedway (former airstrip & 1st permanent dragstrip in GA recently demolished for warehouses, near Fairburn & Palmetto that had a small oval dirt track near the hangars, and a very long road coarse through the woods), Holiday Downs (large dirt oval a block down Hwy 29, built in a failed effort to entice lawmakers to legalize horse racing in GA, later popularized as a motorcycle and motocross track, finally hosting horseback camps for disabled people & several concerts/raves/festivals), Dixie Lakes Kennell Club (massive dog track that was part of a large resort complex in Union City where the baseball field and park are now, opened in the late 1920s but was forced to close almost immediately thereafter when lawmakers hurridly passed new laws banning all dog/horse racing in GA) and Seven Flags Speedway near Douglasville. Research has been impossible to find for these tracks. Keep up the great work!

Great video! Thank you!

I actually found the remains of the Raleigh NASCAR speedway from the 50's in the woods on my channel. I also live close to the Qcconeechee speedway in Hillsborough which dates back to 48 and reminds me of Athens a bit. Great video man and great NASCAR archeology!

This is great, hopefully you have more planned.

there is 4 race tracks in panama city fl that has been gone for years .

I hope you still make more videos of this😊

Thank you so much!! Because Blackmagic pocket camera 4K they don’t make focus handle for it. 🎉🎉

I need to talk to someone about another lost GA track Sugar Creek Raceway that is no longer dead ua-cam.com/video/CVNgfbaw_AM/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/Ek3i7tBGPkA/v-deo.html

Nice video. Was thinking of buying one of these. Was focusing ever an issue?

A great story and a History lesson.

We have a former dirt track 2 miles from me that closed in the early 50"s. My Dad told me about it but we couldn't go back and look at it. The owner wouldn't permit it. It sad I never saw it.

There is what's left of a dirt track on Hwy 211 not far from Road Atlanta. If you look close you can see some of the board fence.

We need to do this for athens speedway..its still there

I saw the first race on that track. I was just a young'n but loved racing at such an early age. My parents took me to it and it was on a sunday afternoon. It still is the best dirt track I have ever been to. Had lots of friends that raced there. Rudy Boroughs was a good friend of mine and he drove the 007 car and won a bunch of races. Sure do miss that place. When that track was build it was 5 miles outside of Athens and NOTHING was out that way. Now it seems like Athens city never ends. That Jennings Mill country and sub division is what took it out of business.

Y’all should do sanction lawn mower racing there !

Wish I could hit the like button multiple times !

I would have a tractor going an have they put back like it was an let people come practice an breakin new engines i would have to have some kinda racing going on to keep the sound echoing off them trees an leave all the historic building just like they are! Promise i would have it set up to be used just for the old heros memories!!! Beautiful property

Had a lot of good time at Athens speedway a fan every Saturday night. Made a few laps around the old track myself And the movie Grease Lighting was filmed there (Athens) and Winder Barrow speedway there were a lots of good drivers came out of this t rack.

This is a great video to all racers and thanks to Bobby and Tommy for what they did for racing in GA
