Just a quick update for my Marchbanks Speedway readers:
I recently made a few additions to "History of Marchbanks Speedway, aka Hanford Motor Speedway" that include:
1) Comments from several people who emailed me their recollections of the track. Keep those coming.
2) Added some detail from "The History of the American Speedway" regarding the track's different configurations over the years. However, the info seems to conflict with other sources, so there's still a ton of digging to do there in terms of distilling myth from reality.
3) A bit about a CRA sprint race in 1969 that was one of the very last events at the track.
And there wasn't anything new to me in this story, but Cox Newspapers recently gave a shoutout to Marchbanks in a look back at the birth of NASCAR superspeedways.
I've stumbled across a few more photos so will try to find the time to plop them in a Marchbanks gallery soon.
In the meantime, please share any new info, photos, stories or anything else Marchbanks-related.
