Requesting a local track to use as reference for a possible documentary for college class. The Greater Cumberland Raceway or now the Thundering Rock Raceway in Cumberland, MD at the Allegany County Fairgrounds
History:
1/2 mile dirt/clay surface and has operated motorsport racing since the 1960s. It's early years were the tracks most historic races, such as USAC & ARCA visits. Mario Andretti claimed his third career win in his young career in the lone USAC event held while Tom Pistone won in ARCA with drivers such as Tiny Lund and Wndell Scott in attendance as well, all now legends of the past. More recently the track has had sporadic race dates so the future of racing events being held there has been questioned. Luckily the first race of this year will be held this Saturday April 20th...nice.
Just looking to preserve some history from such a neat place. The mountains create a great backdrop. Included some pictures along aith a tik tok that was made at the location. Thanks!
