Altoona Speedway was a 1.25 mile race track in PA. But, there’s something that stood out about it. It was made of wood. From the track surface, to everything below it. A wooden super speedway. In the early 1900s, these sorts of tracks popped up all over the country. These tracks came with many unique problems, and interesting solutions. Eventually, the highest level of open wheel racing in the United States would start racing at Altoona, and become known as the Indy 500 killer for a trio of tragedies.
