last I saw Perry County Speedway it was grown totally up so you couldn't tell what was what but I have heard that it has been filled in. Thunder Ridge is still there, they do horse races, but the car track is gone. There was an old track at Partridge and one called Beaver Valley in Martin. Plus, Mountain Motor Speedway, 201 Speedway and Willard Speedway.

last time i went by the Salyersville Speedway it was still there (a few years back) but was rutted severely from years of neglect.

That is the location where the track used to be on your map. The old Lost Creek Speedway now has homes on it. I dont think any of the old track is visible anymore.

[racingjtc]

We have not cut the banks down at all the car track is still there and we did do allot of work to it last year but it was to get the water off of the track and we still plan to reopen the track but the place needs allot of work before it can be reopened Switzer's Fleming co speedway

[Racer 33]
