Up here in MA we had Sideways Promotions

http://www.sidewayspromo.com/index.html

Until the death of Pete Giammalvo just about a year ago. The track was closed last year, not sure if it will ever re open. Does anyone know of more small tracks like this in New England?

I hope the Az. dates come back to Prescott Downs (assuming they are under new ownership). That place was a great venue and the crowds were huge.
