06.03.09 | Bill Orre | Mason-Dixon was a little before my day,
but I do remember watching Bert Robbins and Bobby Ballentine run at Old
Dominion in Virginia in the 70's. Bobby Ballentine also ran at Beltsville, MD at that time. One night his throttle must have stuck open and he went head-on into the wall in turn 3. Beltsville had reinforced concrete walls, so the wall didn't move. Bobby was OK, though. |
06.06.09 | Ed Duncan | Who is driving the 2 car behind Woodward. It looks like a Frank Schneider car. |
06.09.09 | Bruce Thomas | My Uncle's Bo and John Newlin ran the V7 there on an occasion. The track is still there under all the scrap cars, as it is an auto salvage business these days. You can still make out were the track used to be. Sadly that track closed before i was even born. Other wise it would have been the closest track to me from were I grew up for many years. |
06.09.09 | Charlie Miller | Don't remember this track , but sure do remember some of these drivers . Pete Kantorsky with his Wells Fargo sedans , with actural arrows stuck in the body , and later with the only Edsel late-model stock car I ever saw . Bobby Ballantine , Ronnie Cranston , and Pee Wee Pobletts all of Lincoln Speedway and Williams Grove fame . Where exactly was Mason Dixon located ? Very nice photo , thanks for sharing . |
06.14.09 | Larry Jendras Jr. | Charlie, Mason-Dixon was located in Sylmar, Pa. just above the Maryland-Pennsylvania line and just to the west of Route 1. It is now the site of Mason-Dixon Auto Parts. The roads have changed since the track operated, but if you pull up an aerial map, you can see the track outline at the salvage yard. Nottingham Rd is on the east side. |
02.19.10 | Todd Sorenson | Going there as a kid was a Sunday afternoon ritual. I recall Pete Moxley, Gene Holcomb, Walt Ragan, Sid Hinkle and Hilly Rife, among others. One guy -I think it was Sleepy Snyder - had a beer can affixed to the roof of his hot rod. |
06.21.11 | Dave Aycock | Bert Robbins past away 6/19/11. I am an old crew member. |
