Boone Speedway, tor wyścigowy (Stany Zjednoczone)
Boone Speedway is a racing track in Boone, Iowa, where dirt oval races are held. The track is roughly one-third of a mile long with steeply banked turns, and it primarily operates on Saturday nights, hosting various car classes including modifieds, stock cars, and hobby stocks.
The speedway was established in 1967 by Vern Carman, replacing a smaller track in Dayton. Over the decades, it has grown into an established racing venue, hosting major events like the IMCA Super Nationals and continuously expanding with safety improvements and modern facilities.
The speedway has been a gathering place for racing enthusiasts and drivers in the local community for decades. Saturday nights under the lights have become a tradition where families and fans come together to experience the roar of engines and the thrill of dirt track racing.
The speedway is located in Boone and is easily accessible by car. Visitors should check the schedule in advance since race dates vary, and special events like the Super Nationals may require additional planning time.
The track is prepared using John Deere tractors, which drivers humorously call 'farming the track,' sometimes even with the song 'Green Acres' playing in the background. This rural approach to track maintenance is uncommon and gives the place a distinctive, down-to-earth character.
