episode 5168: West Virginia Motorsports History
Grassroots and bootstraps strategies were used by early racing pioneers in West Virginia beginning in the 1930s. Tom Adamich, co-author of the auto racing entry in the West Virginia Encyclopedia and other related articles/publications will profile several events and individuals who innovated and dominated on the dirt tracks, ball diamonds, and other unique race courses that dot the hills and valleys of the great state of West Virginia.
Tom Adamich has been a vehicle/motorsports historian since the early 1990s. He served as the project archivist at the Wills Sainte Claire Auto Museum (Marysville, Michigan) from 2009-2016. He has been a frequent presenter at the Argetsinger Symposium – including presentations on Strategic Air Command (SAC) racing history, Cuban motorsports history, and Formula Vee.
