Altoona Speedway

Altoona Driving Park where the Pleasant Valley Shopping Center is currently. Thank you Jeremy Bender. To quote him: Aerial view from 12/1938, the Armory is on the lower right.

Hey, we made a few pages in Hometown Roots magazine! Grab a copy from Giant Eagle and check out the article!

Well worth $20 for 6 hours. Boardtrack is obviously a part of it.

Long before any of us were in Altoona , unless you are over 91, there were movies that ...gasp... had no voices and accompanied by music... remember granny at ...the movies in "Bug Tussle" ????? Oh maybe you don't know that either....lol sigh well a movie was made that had scenes from the 1923 races at Altoona speedway... very dated and politically incorrect, but hey those were the roaring 20's the first 4 mins are in my next post :) See more
