For the 23rd straight year, former drivers, officials, fans and racing aficionados gathered together to remember and reminisce about one of the most important and historic tracks in Georgia racing history.
The annual Peach Bowl Reunion was held on Sunday, Jan. 29 at the American Legion Post 216 in Austell Georgia, some 41 years after the final race at the legendary quarter-mile track was run.
The speedway, which was located at the corner of Brady Avenue and Howell Mill Road in Atlanta, Georgia, opened in 1949. It began as a home for midget racing, but quickly became a haven for stock cars and the famed “Skeeters”, a southern version of the super modified.
The track closed in 1971, and was razed in 1972 to make way for a bus repair depot for MARTA, Atlanta’s rapid transit authority.
