Marlboro Maryland Raceway has been closed since around 1971, I have walked the track many times and is tucked away deep in the woods off of Rte#301 Near Rte#4. The track is broken u in many places with trees growing up in the middle of the track, The wooden stands burned down around 2015.

What a great year 1967 was. Great drivers and teams. The Cougar team was awesome.

Saw the 1969 Trans AM at Bryar Park in N.H at 12 years old. Most thrilling day of my life. My favorite, Parnelli Jones lead for half the race in his Boss 302 Mustang, but left the race due to overheating.

I saw all these guys race in 1969 at MIS back when it still had the road course. Our neighbor next-door raced SCCA locally with his Chevy Corvair, and was able to acquire free tickets for the race. Several of the neighbors came along. It was really a great experience as we got to walk the pits pre race, and actually talk to some of the drivers. I grew up in a north metro Detroit neighborhood where my dad, and almost every neighbor work for either the Big Three, or one of the contract engineering automotive support companies. I grew up with gasoline in my veins, so that first time experience of real professional auto racing was automotive Nirvana.

This needs to replace NASCAR, which is dead on arrival.

Yeah bring back classes pre-70's where the cars are mostly stock and it's not all about driver drama. That's what killed NASCAR for me. I loved the factory rivalries in the day but later I really couldn't give a rip about drivers spouting off about each other. And also in Trans-Am the cars just got farther and farther from stock as well. By the 80's I think they were tube frame funny cars with facsimile bodywork hung on.

NASCAR Turned into I.R.O.C. Racing all identical cars same H.P. same body lines . Even though they say FORD ,CHEVY , DODGE TOYOTA..They all are the SAME 🚗

Sad they don't just strip down and lightly mod production cars, would be fun to see a stripped down Hellcat racing on a road course.

JackOfAllTrades, Hellcat cars are only good in straight line racing. They suck on all road course tracks.
