I finally got around to scanning some of my old pictures. Take a peek at these from back in the day. The first two pretty much sum up the place. On the first one, Thats an old friend Johnny Barlow early in the morning when all was well then the second one is of him is late in the evening after he had just had a day we'd all like to forget. There will never be another Whip but I'm sure some of you have stories of other tracks that we'd all enjoy reading.

Well like it says, A few more and I have others.

The second picture is of Ernie Bucci who's a long time friend but once enlarged, I just noticed the guy standing to the left of him leaning on the railing. Thats none other than Mike Boylan. Another long time friend and I did'nt even know I had him in that picture after all these years. Hi Mikey:wave:

WOW,
Thanks Butts
I remember Johnny, I think the stock record was 42laps, befrore the track closed

Cool photos Dave, The good old days.

The number 5 car on the grid I think is Bill Horne. Man I wish he was still around.

The picture of the guy on the left next to the track record sign is a guy that I raced with from Bradenton. I can't remember his full name but we called him Tiny...LOL

why did whippoorwill close?

Thanks David those are great.

Whip closed why??? Well car count weekly used to be 100+ then was sometimes under 15 at the end, and the big races that used to draw 400+ couldn't pull 100. So the owner Bob Hosch sold the land and made a ton. Burn out more than anything, on racers part and his part.

any other tracks around still like that?
