The Thunderdome looks in surprisingly good shape, are any series still running on it? I drive by it every few weeks and from the outside it looks abandoned.

drifting on both the dome & the road course. Lemons did a 24 hour race on the WTCC layout prior to COVID too


the dragstrip been MIA since COVID - the repave job they did back in 2020 messed it up bad apparently; ANDRA has a sportsman series race on it next year tho

the spectator areas & infield buildings at the Dome are completely abandoned - in the same form that North Wilkesboro was before Jr cleaned up for iRacing

(link to video)

found this on youtube today had no idea the Nascar Modified series raced at pocono let alone an oval layout

Pocono had a 5/8th mile track from the track's opening (which preceded the full 2.5 mile layout up to 1991 - which then was removed to construct the current Cup Series garage area. Modifieds raced there throughout it's history.

It's biggest race was the Race of Champions - which the track took over from Trenton in 1977. The first 3 years was run on the full 2.5 mile layout; before moving down to the 3/4 mile in 1980.

NERFers Corner article (Speedway Scene) on the 1979 race

Weces Pieces has programs posted from several races held on the 3/4 mile track in the early 1970s as well.

Found a video on YouTube of all the B roll and crash footage from "Days of Thunder". The stuff that gets a second or two in the movie is shown in a bit more detail here. I honestly figured they filmed most of the crash scenes at the track and not at an airport runway.

while the current configuration of Rockingham will always be one of my favorites, the original flat version would of been perfect for modern IndyCars

Man, even though SS racing is a gimmick, it at least retains some legitimacy when the track has no grip and the cars are aerodynamically slippery.

This. Having the cars bouncing around like they're on the ragged edge of disaster every lap makes such a huge difference in viewing these races.

Modern SS race feels too much like Tesla autopilot on a slot-car track.
