Hi, I'm looking for anyone that has any information about the Karlsruhe Racing Association in Karlsruhe Germany. I used to live there in the mid to late 70's. Is it running races? Is it still in existence? Does anyone have any history about it?
Thanls, Tom
Isnt that name tied into the new series of electric formula racing in Germany? Seems as I read this somewhere lately.."
I had not heard that. I'm looking for the oil dirt track in Karlsruhe that stated in 1976. My Dad help start that track and i'm trying to see if it's still in operation.
IT APPEARS THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A "GHOST RACE TRACK" BUILT BY VIETNAM ERA ARMY BASE AT US ARMY BARRACKS NEUREUTER IN Karlsruhe, GERMANY.

The Karlsruhe track was my home track the three years that I raced there. What a great time it was. I have several pictures that I will post once I get the scanned. "Moma's Worry" race team is who I was with and we were from Germershiem Depot. I raced there in 71,72 and 73. Mostly just building the track in 71 but did race. There was several racers that traveled to different tracks to race at there tracks and like I said it was a great time. Tom I hope to get some pics up here in a few days. I also held the track record there for quite a while in a 1900 Opel LOL.
