A few years back, didn't the old race track at the Piedmont Interstate Fairgrounds (Spartanburg, SC) receive a face-lift as part of a historical celebration/vintage racing event? As best I recall, David Pearson won the vintage event in his '37 coach. What's happened since?

Thomas,To view Harnett County Speedway, begin in Spring Lake, NC (near Fayetteville/Ft. Bragg), travel north on NC 210, and 'take' a right on "Bethel Baptist Road" NC HWY # 2048. Take a subsequent right on "Buddy Barefoot Road" NC HWY #2049. The track, plainly visible on Google aerials, is to the south and west of Buddy Barefoot road. Good Luck!

T.L.Interestingly, Harnett County 'still' exist. Its footprint can be seen from aerial photo imagery (google maps). Harnett was in operation in the late '60's. Also, of interest, there are (supposedly) a few junked chassis/race cars(?), still on the site. Ghosts from back in the day. It a'int that far, and Harnett may require a personal expedition, this is just too tantalizing. LOL!

Ken, you probably are aware of the book "When Racing was Racing" published by the High Point Museum staff, 2002, Barbara E. Taylor, executive director. It's focus is the Triad region of North Carolina (only).Published in conjunction with the exibition: When Racing was Racing: The early days of stock car racing in the Triad 1940-1959

Larry Moore showed up at Myrtle Beach, unexpectdedly, in the late '70's. He was in another zip code, or at least that was the reports. I missed that race, and have regretted it ever since!
