Today only the straightaways of the track remain, turns one and two having been eliminated in favor of a right-angle walkway, and turns three and four occupied by a large stage for concert performances.
The AACA uses the stadium for the race car demonstration runs that accompany the big gathering of the old-car faithful, but the cars can only tiptoe around the walkway and the stage.
In this photo from the ATQMRA races at Hershey now some 30 years ago, a remarkable seven cars are crammed into a small portion of the otherwise spacious Hershey track. Click the photo for a larger view, and count cars. There are eight if you include the tiny tiny piece of one just entering the frame from the right.
Ron Smith is the owner-driver about to test the roll cage on his #48, with two cars trying to occupy the same space beneath his car. Ron's good friend Bern Bradley is exiting the scene in his own #32. You guess is as good as mine as to who any of the others are.
Lest you think that no one showed up to watch these races, this photo was taken in turn two, and the seating area along the backstretch was not used for these races -- the fans sat on the frontstretch. With 15,641 permanent seats in the stadium there was no need to open the bleachers along the backstretch.
Hershey Stadium (now officially called Hersheypark Stadium) is a great stadium that once held a great race track.
