Forgotten Tracks

Where the grass may grow and lights may dim but the memories never fade.


The Early Years

Searching for information about old tracks I stumbled upon this web site. "The Early Years" it's a site dedicated to racing in the 50's. There's a lot of really neat photos and articles. I love the article "Flip proofing a stock" I feel that the site goes right along with mine, being that it's linked to a time when a lot of these tracks were still running. Not to mention it's ran by a very nice man by the name of Perry Kratchmer. He is also one of the members of the Ozark Vintage Racing Association. Check his site out for some awesome reading, photos and videos of vintage cars and to just see what he's up to.

Taking the track championship in 1949-1950...this car was driven by Mr. Perry Kratchmer at his best buddy Skippy's local track (under the front porch) right on tenth avenue.
