This is what it is all about: The drivers, the cars and the dirt they played on. 
Vallejo left us with countless memories and here we share just a few.
Be sure to check back often as updates can occur anytime as we try to 

match the drivers, cars and the years they drove them.
                                  Sit back and enjoy.

   Let’s Share What We Know!
Anyone interested in sharing information regarding Vallejo Speedway: the track, cars, drivers, etc. to the Vallejo Museum of History you may contact Scott Stick at 415-960-5254.  He is developing an exhibit to contribute to the museum’s Hall of History including interviews of drivers, car owners, fans, etc., photos, films and any other artifacts and memorabilia regarding VS history.
This is a great way to share the history of the Speedway that we all loved so much, now and for future generations.
Call Scott for more information and consider sharing your experiences with the speedway.  
Thank you, Bob

We attempt to give credit to photos contributed.  If we miss some, we apologize. Credit is given to the person submitting the photo, not necessarily the photographer.  Many of the photos were taken by the track photographer Bob Bockover and some have his name on them, but not all.  We assume all photos submitted are welcome here, but if not, they are subject to removal. Thanks all for your submissions.
