Bainbridge Speedway was a 1 Mile Dirt Oval Track. Auto Racing
discontinued in 1951. Was later used as a Horse Racing track.

There are two Bainbridges in Ohio. Anyone know which one had the track?

If you look at the Google earth of Bainibridge Township, Ohio you can
vaguely make out what looks like an outline of a track of some sort.
Looks like the 3, 4 turns are just to the northwest of the Home Depot
store and the 1/2 turns are just to the east of the Target. Turns might
be reversed but it doesn't matter. Maybe it is my imagination but it
definitely looks like a pattern in the trees. If anybody knows anything
at all I would love to hear more definite info. the only item on my
bucket list os to walk every track that NASCAR has ever used, even if it
means walking around a mall.

If you have info please send to usserya@hotmail.com

MOD, I hope you can let me include my contact info as I gather details
of the obscure tracks.

Historic Aerials is the best for finding these tracks. It is definitely
visible on a 1952 aerial view in the location described above, over and
to the north and west of Home Depot and Target.

It all confused me because there is another town named Bainbridge in
more rural Ohio that has an old faded track visible, but it looks like
it was just a running track.

This track looked to still be very much in use in a 1962 aerial view,
and in decent shape in a 1970 view. It was still very discernible in
1994 and the outline was still strong in 2004. By 2006, the track area
was being obliterated by nameless big box sprawl.

In the 60's and 70's there were barns visible, and it must have had a
fairly long history as a horse track.

North Market Place exiting the Home Depot big box area to the north
crosses right across the former track. At 7000 Pettibone Road, Chagrin
Falls, OH, one is standing just north of the old track.

Crazy that this place hosted Tim and Fonty Flock, Lee Petty, Tony
Bettenhausen, and Rex Mays
