Don't know what to think of this post on craigslist. I think this belongs here more than in the craigslist forum. If a mod wants to move it there, let me know and I'll remove the craigslist link and just put all the pics up (saved them on my comp.)....

I raced there in 1968 and I don't think that's Wentzville.

Looks a little different. But that is wentzville. I really miss that place. It closed in 2005.

I wish someone would open up one again in that area, or further west, even. It's was only 70 miles from home instead of 140 to GIR or KCIR. Raced at MAR weekly in early 90's.

That's DEFINITELY MAR/Wentzville. Amazing how many guys/cars in the background are still racing today.

The track actually only closed from '78-'80 and from '82-'83. Other than that, It was open from '64 thorugh '04.

Cheryl has July 18 1982 on them .
She can't be wrong

Was it maybe '83-'84?

The '78-'80 I'm positive about, though. I was the starter there in '80 when it reopened.

Heres some pics fixed 1 week later going to GIR.
Boy i had energy then .july 24 1982 oh the fire july 18 1982 married june 26 1982

Question: Does anybody know what the CraigsList poster was even selling?

Butch Hicks in the King Cuda funny car used to own my 1965 A-990 Plymouth Belvedere before the King Cuda funny car.

Is that Strokerpost in the near lane, prior to painting the car blue?

There is talk of a track being built in columbia. I dont know if its true or not. Strokerpost needs to build a track in Troy. What do you think Ken?

Not in Columbia...that's where I am. There was "talk" about it in the county north of us, and alot of plans in the works, but when the economy turned sour, I believe so did the plans. Last I heard the property was never purchased, and developers could not find investors...again, just what I heard. Columbia would be a great place, IMO, because it is right in the middle of the state, could draw from all over, and is right on I70, and Hwy63. However, Boone County and City of Columbia has no desire for such a facility. If it doesn't have a ball involved, it is not a sport, apparently.

Yeah, Don, that was '82 I rememeber the car fire and the fiasco with fire extinguishers that day. Back in the days of Bob and Lonnie running the track before the Veighes decided to do it themselves. Rememeber the clashes between the big block and small block Pro Stock Monzas?

What about Peavley? The track, and the tower are still there. It only flooded once in 93. Right?

Anybody pickup some rumors about a track being setup in Farmington area???????????

Every one of these track rumors has been laid to rest years ago.

There was a huge reason Pevely never ran again after the Junior race in June of '93. If you've been there since, you'd know what it is!

It sounded like the most likely spot was gonna be in Montgomery City. But then the circle track was just closed one weekend. I had a friend that ran there and said it just up and closed after a few weeks of bad payouts.

His link is to a place that sells properties but don't understand why he put those pictures up.
