Chronicles Of The Acres is an online archive of stories and photos of stock car racing at Redwood Acres Raceway with a focus on the drivers and their cars on a track evolving since the 1940s from dusty dirt to wet clay to paved asphalt; the local heroes as well as the out-of-towners drawn to the track to challenge the regulars.

I want to dedicate this blog to two people-
My dad who took his two sons to the races at Redwood Acres in the golden era of the mid-70s “because you kept saying you wanted to go”, and my brother, who continued to go with me as an adult watching our childhood heroes; Jimmy, Hank, Fergy, Larry, etc., coming at us while we baked in the turn four bleachers.  I wish they were both here to see this; they would really get a kick out of it.
