Those were the days. I remember my grandpa and I going to Cherokee speedway every weekend without any doubt, we were going to the races. My finest memories and best times as a child were all there. T&L was and will always be my favorite division. Go night stalker! Thanks for sharing the old time great racing footage Mitch Sill. Takes me back to wonderful times and I love showing my daughter the racing that we used to see as well as my hero's.
I loved that 1/2 mile dirt track. I drove about 70 miles to see it. I remember when there was no outside retaining wall in Turns 1 and 2. The high groove was the fastest. It was exciting to watch the divers run a Darlington line around the trrack. Occasionally somebody would slide right out of the track, and dive back on the track in Turn 2. Good times. Thanks so much for posting this.
My dad and I raced at the old 1/2 mile back in the early 90s. It was the fastest dirt track I have ever seen. I dreamed of running T&L one day. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was watching the best dirt track stock racing the world would ever see, imho. I hate to say it, but I don't think I will ever see racing like the T&L class again.
Man, those were some great times back then...loved the T&L races every week....the fought hard before, during, and a bunch after the races!...Great times👍
