"Information About Harmony"
Greg Collins: 06/17/05
The last time "Modifieds" raced at Harmony was on July 7, 1972. During the final year of operation (1973) the track ran sportsman, late models and mini-stocks. The winner on that final night of Modified racing was Will Cagle in the #24 (100 lap Feature). The winner's share of the purse posted that night by track owner/promoter Anthony Pio Costa was $1500.
Carl VanHorn and Richard Crouse (a farmer from Harmony), were the original builders of the track which opened in June of 1963.
Fire service was provided by the Harmony Township Volunteer Fire Company which J. Richard Collins (father) was a member.
The property is now owned by Mallinckrodt Baker Incorporated. It's thought that the last deed transfer involving the sale of the speedway property to Mallinckrodt may have included a restriction that the property could not be used for racing purposes in the future.
