I never got to see a race at this piece of American history but I've seen the track in person. Its was truly a sight to behold. 1 mile dirt ovals for auto racing is rare nowadays to almost non existent which is sad cause the 1 mile dirt tracks are an example of nascars earliest speedways . R.i.p to the moody mile
Sad politics ruined the moody mile , Though it wasn’t the best place to pass and was rough at times , the speed and fuel mileage made up for it as excitement.Miss this place a ton I attended from 1984-2015 , now it’s held in Oswego , I feel it’s a joke, they need to find a proven true dirt track to hold super dirt week !
@@ericmonaco4509 well an actual big dirt track though not a mile would be to revive rolling wheels I hear that place was lighting, but I feel you on the indy 500 level of event, the indiana state fair decided gambling was more important then tradition of auto racing and a rare dirt mile, its where they had the hoosier hundred really as far as openwheel goes, it was the Indy 500 of dirt racing, it was second in prestige to win the hoosier hundred only to winning the indy 500, and it it weren't for racing there the guys may never have gotten the idea to built the brickyard, and at one point second highest paying race next to daytona and the indy 500, it was not as fast as the tracks in illinose, but it went away faster and I hear it was narrower so it was more of a challeng to drive, they were to have one more but could not wait even a month to have the last race at the fairgrounds even though it was already scedualed, and worse they could not even save the inner half mile for auto racing they could have at least did that for us auto racing fans, mind you though we still have a horse racing mile about 20 ish miles outside indy at shelbyvill but they dont have guardrails and a catch fence to host auto racing, if there were some parties with money the ducks could come togather or a dirt track could be built at irp there is still plenty of room, I get it having it on carb night is great but usac knows, the drivers know, and the winner this year with the revival as a 100 mile pavement race knows at its heart its not just a dirt race its thee dirt race to try to win, now irp is still in indy, is second largest track in indiana for auto racing, and a historical venue itself at this point and with a large seating capacity, but the race should be on dirt even if its not a full mile.
Syracuse was huge back in the 70's and 80's but so many people have moved out of N.Y. N.J. Penn and took there money with them and so many good jobs have left, i grew up in Fonda N.Y. you couldn't get a seat back in the dAy now you can have any seat YOU wANT taxes taxes taxes @@manga12
At best, it was bipartisan. One of the biggest and loudest proponents of the Moody Mile's destruction was Republican Joanie Mahoney. Also, I dearly, dearly miss this track and I'm a one of those "cultist" Democrats you're talking about.

And like everything else….the cultist Democratic garbage ruined a racing gem/spectacle
