Ghost Track Photos


This is how Langley Speedway looked at various times between 2005 and 2012 when Bus Bussiere, Jeremy Speer and Randy Kain visited the site.

As can be seen in the photos below, the track surface is in great shape and the front wall is still standing. The grandstands were built into the hill that over-looks the front straight. The stairways are still there but the grandstand itself is gone. The pits were located in the infield but nothing remains. The infield has been cleaned up and re-sodded.

The track is noticeably more tidy in the 2010 and later photos. This is because the Langley Speedway Historical Society began making regular clean-up visits, including painting.
