Comments: Great overhead shot of another great speedway that they just couldn't wait to tear down to put up an important housing development or mall....  I understand that Woody (who provided this picture and drives the aqua colored #1 vintage coupe), grew up in one of the houses pictured above with the clothes drying in the wind in the backyard...

12/23/07 John Great track. Saw Dick Havens among others race there. As a young boy we went to the stockyards that were adjacent to the track. I remember a holdiay race in the summer...and the stock auction was on. I snuck out of the auction and over to look through the old tin siding that was along the road in. I rememer seeing a car buckle up at the firewall with the engine sticking straight out ahead. It ended for me when a car struck the tin nearby and scared the ***out of me. I was probably about 11 or 12 then.
