Chemung Speedrome
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chemung Speedrome is a 1/4 mile Asphalt race track in Chemung, New York. Built in 1951 by the Bodine family, the track was first dirt-surfaced, then paved. It was closed in 1978. After buying the track in 1985, one of the current owners Bob Stapleton started to rebuild the track in 1997, and in 2000 the track held its inaugural event.
