Pennsylvania racing historian Steve Bubb said this speedway west of Chambersburg held drag races on its front straightaway. It was a quarter-mile dirt oval that opened in 1960. The Chambersburg Motor Knights sponsored races on Wednesday evenings in the summer of 1964, with trophies for class and eliminator winners. The site is overgrown now.
