Fan Guide: 60th Anniversary History
Delaware Speedway is excited to be celebrating our 60th season of racing with our fans, drivers, and other supporters this year.
As part of the 60th anniversary, we are working to piece together the basic history of the track. This year with the 60th anniversary of the track, a notable section of the souvenir program is currently planned to be dedicated to showcasing this history.
We are looking for:
-Any photography from the early days of the track, especially the 1950s.
-Photos (not from souvenir programs) after 1960.
-Schedules showing the dates of events in that season.
-Any printed program or trophy indicating who the champion(s) were in a season.
-Promotional posters of significant races and weekly events.
-We have access to plenty of photos after 1992, but anything earlier is harder to come by.
-Any video of ‘historic moments’ prior to 2005 (Rogers television recordings do not count)
-Stats from any season of racing (note: speedway stats are present for any season after 2000).
Material dropped off at the track office should be in an envelope marked with your name, telephone number, and address on it. Please do not leave historic material in the mailbox.
If you believe you are an authority on a particular period of track history, or feel you would have something to contribute to a “meeting of the minds”, please contact us by telephone or e-mail to receive information for a mini-conference which will be held in the near future.
