"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.
