I was just wondering if anyone had info or pics of tracks in the southeast in this era. I am especially interested in east tennessee and western north carolina tracks because thats were my dad raced in the 70's. He rode Muddy Creek, there were a couple of tracks in Newport, TN which is were I am from, there was a track in Morristown, TN I think it was called Sugar Hollow, there was a track in the Sevierville/Pigeon Forge, TN area, there was a track around Elizabethton, TN called Hillbilly World I think, and there was a track in Waynesville, NC, and I think there was a track at the 411 dragway in TN that held night races. I have a few pics of these places I will post when I scan them. I am trying to compile info about MX in my area just as my own little project. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

Wow, no response from any old timers in the area? Sorry, I'm not any help either. Any shops in your area with anyone old enough to remember racing back in that era?
