And The Races Are On!

Accord Speedway Is Off & Running Again

By Terence P. Ward

ACCORD – Accord Speedway is loud and brash, with bright colors and big noises that appeal to fans and hobbyists from grizzled veteran to the fresh-faced youth. It's also strangely retiring, hidden away where no one but its fans, and its neighbors, know where to look. Two or three times a week, hobby racers and those yearning to be pro gather at this track, to find out who is the best at driving extremely fast, while always turning to the left.

The Speedway kicked off its 2012 season with trial races last month, and is now underway with its regular Wednesday and Friday race schedule. > MORE
