This one is my all time favorite. Well worth the 330 mile round trip. At one time the fastest track per size I ever went to. And the best racing to boot. It's gone now, sadly. I still grieve over this place being torn down. It's a 3/8 miler radared cars going 104 and actually faster than that the last year of the wedges and maintaining speeds of 90 mph in turns three and four.

By 1998 the track had really went down hill bad as the different owners kept letting it go flatter, quit working and watering the track near enough, and even messing it up one time by pouring a bunch of used oil or something similar on it. They even wound up cutting the high banks down and putting a guardrail around it, that just totally ruined the place. The owner that sold part of the property which allowed it to be turned into a tire recycling and then later a scrap yard is the one that killed the track.
