The New Silver
Spring Speedway Book Is For Sale The beginning history of the former Silver Spring Speedway is the forgotten part of the famed racetrack. Now that early history comes to life in the new book entitled "From the Beginning." From the Beginning covers Silver Spring Speedway history from the planning and building stages in 1953, through to 1964. This is about Ray Garver Sr. and Donald Moyer constructing the new track.
