1992 Slick 50 Sprint Car World Series At Manzanita Speedway - (Week #1)

[@melwam2111]

I will mourn the loss of this track for my entire life

[@jeffreyrogers8151]

Me too. You could drive, from the Phoenix Metro area, on a Saturday night and for $15 see some excellent racing..

@Mel Wam; having been a fan of Manzanita Speedway and the legendary Windy MacDonald since the 1960's I was devastated when the facility was shuttered never to be raced at again. I too will mourn the loss forever.

I wish I could have been able to see Manzy! I am from Indiana and been east coast to Illinois tracks in between! And I love going to different tracks! Because of the different characteristics of not only the track and the different dirt, clay, Iowa gumbo! And I like the asphalt short tracks as well! But dirt is a special thing, atleast in my word! And Watching this old footage or to me not so long ago times but really is when being a kid seeing these guys do the most amazing things behind the wheel of a machine with so much power and so little weight that! If a sprint car with and or without a wing is a privilege to watch these guy's do what they do! Thanks for the video:)

Thanks for posting this.

It's weird seeing old tv broadcasts of tracks that are not around anymore

[@mikedegregorio9113]

Sponsored by products that aren't around either.

This must have been a very early appearance of Ralph Sheheen on TNN, as up to this point, he was mainly on ESPN.

I got to see Manzanita once, I was with the Brommes and Dino from CRA. I preferred Ascot, it was never as blazing hot as Manzanita. Ascot is gone as well, it seems folks move in next to a track and then complain about the noise.

Dick Berggren and Doug Wolfgang in the booth? That's different.

[@DaltonHastings1]

Please tell me you have more of these? My father used to tape these events back then.

[@marshallhaines]

more weeks please

[@nicholaskernan5669]

Does anybody know if Greg Browns car is Robbie Stanley's old car? It is amazing how much it looks like his own car not the Hoffman car!

[@theghostdrummer99]

Who convince Wolfie to broadcast? Only time I’ve ever seen him do that.

[@raymond3803]

Ben Franklin

I. Believe that this was a big opportunity to show the nation for the first time, what a exciting ,thrilling. superior form of auto racing this is...but the subpar lighting and facility really hurt the broadcast..
