Bennett Speedway
Historic Speedways and Ghost Tracks
Thanks Dennis, what a fantastic job!! Sadly, the Bennett Speedway story is hardly unique. Countless tracks, over the years, have had the best laid plans and intentions, only to not succeed. And in so many examples, the reasons for failure are so subjective. In this case, everybody went to Rockingham...........but why? And the answer is...everybody's going to Rockingham...Such heard mentalityis difficult to combat, and the other sad reality is that Rockingham eventually failed too. The race track business is one tough nut to crack. There are examples that are wildly successful, for no obvious reason, and there's even more examples of failure, even after dotting all the "I's" and crossing all the 'T's".
