Abandoned Track in Ohio?

[Mams]

On google maps there appears to be a dirt track north of Lucasville. It is east of US23 between Caldwell & Brakeman Roads. Anyone have any knowledge of this?

is that the old track at the fairgrounds along 23?

This thread say this is the "practice track" of the sprint car 3F driven by Chris Fraley.






This is all from Google searches. I lay no claim to know anything more about it other than what I found on the web.

If you are on facebook there's page on there called "retired race vehicles and a abandoned (ghost) tracks." May post it on there and see if you have any hits. It appears they were in to just about everything. I see what looks like 2 kart tracks, and what looks like an old mx track.

I know Fraley is from the Portsmouth area. He owns and operates the ohio pest control business. Not sure on where he lives though.

Isn't the old Brown County Speedway in that area?

St rt 125 runs passed brown county. It's grown way more than that at the time.

google earths historical photos show the track in question being built sometime between 1994-2004 photos from 2010-2015 show track overgrown

Here's a practice track that belongs to local mod driver Dave Jameson. It isn't far away from brushcreek.

No this would be right on the scioto and pike county lines. Brown is close to an hour away

It could be the track Jim Nier built before he bought KC Raceway. I believe it was in the Piketon area.
