Title: Blasts from the past-----
Post by: rainman2 on June 14, 2023, 02:25:53 AM: Is it time to bring back racetrack vs racetrack drivers challenges?

Back in the early 80's you had Buffalo Raceway vs Flamboro Downs.

Pompano Park (RIP) did different versions of drivers challenges.

I believe recently Northfield Park vs Pompano Park [RIP}

Were there the following:

Yonkers/Roosevelt vs the Meadowlands?

Raceway Park {RIP} vs Northville Downs?

The Meadows vs Northfield Park?

Any other challenges that plopsters can bring up from the past?

The EXACT same drivers worked at both tracks. How did those battles work?

Are you ok?
