Oval Track Corvette

[UncleJung]

I'm sure we won't see too many people doing this with the new Stingray ...

I remember seeing this car at Pinecrest Speedway many years ago ..This was a 1/4 mile paved oval Stock Car track.

I even thought it was a waste at the time .

Don't remember the StingRay but I do remember Pinecrest from way back when.

That'd be like racing around in a barrel.

My kid is always talking about doing a corvette dirt track car....... Don't think it will ever happen; I'm sure he talks like this just to piss me off.

There is a C3 parts car sitting just east of Lindsay on the south side of highway 7. Just what your lad needs Brian. I can get you the guy's number. Always like to help friends.

What are pals for if they can't help their friends out.

Reminds me of the Gen 2 Camaros and Trans Ams I see at our local track with the cut out fenders and just sort of rough condition.

This is part of my yard (as of Friday)... so if you have a dirt track car you want to test, come visit!

The pond is going to go where the darker vegetation is, and the golf green close to the bottom of the picture

Very Cool !! More details please .

This is Pinecrest Speedway ..It was "THE" place to be for Stock Car racing in the Toronto area from the late 50's till (I Believe) around the 1980's when it was torn down for ..whatever ....

Notice the number of cars in the parking lot ... we had to run for our cars just after the feature race ended, or sometimes it would take an hour or more to get out of the parking lot ! !

I spent most every Saturday night there for many years ..In fact I used to hitch-hike there and back (about 25 miles) before I was old enough to drive !

It sure would be nice if we had crowds like that now ..

It's 3/8 mile around... first pass done to get it back to dirt happened on friday... resurrection should be done next year.

I wonder what the fascination is with putting a Corvette body on a 4x4?

Going off topic a bit, but here's a guy who was involved in oval track racing, then build a probably the cleanest 4wd Corvette I have ever seen.

Riley, if they put a stock nose and head lights back in that thing, I could almost like it. It's nice to see a track actually being resurrected. Developers just see real estate for houses and malls so the tracks are all disappearing.
