Just what are your first memories of Empire Speedway (aka St. Francois County Raceway)??
One of the things I'll always remember was that road on the back side of the track and seeing some guy go flying off the track and down to that road. There wasn't a whole lot of fencing up back then... LOL.. The grandstands were tiny compared to what is there now and it seems like everytime I went for some reason I ended with with both dust and mud on me... I went to see Tubby Black! And you know what, it's 35 years later and I'm still going to see Tubby Black!!! How cool is that. They need to put up a statue of him out there.. What an icon...
