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:)

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

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.

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!

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..
