Are there any Racers Reunion Members out there that remember the old Dixie Sportsman Circut?

This circut was a group of tracks that operated before Bill France Sr. came into Virginia and North Carolina. No Modifieds just Limited Sportman.

Jim, when did they run? I'm a Northern boy.lolPete

Late 40s / Early 50s.I do remember this: Wendell Scott was allowed to race with us first.

Hello,Shrader Field was one of the tracks. The track was in Madison Heights, Va. across the river from Lynchburg,Va.Its was named Lynchburg Speedway about 1954. A driver from up north had trouble finding Shrader Field andasked why they didn't name the speedway Lynchburg Speedway and he said we could find Lynchburg.And the track was Lynchburg Speedway at Shrader Field. Like Jeff said get Bill Mangum Books. Bill daddyGordon Mangum won the last ran on dirt at Shrader Field. I live about 4 miles from the track.Parts of the track is still there.Thanks

someone needs to get a copy of those books and put a little bit of the knowledge on here they give,then we all would hunt them for more--kinda like a cheap advertisement huh
