1954 - CARRELL SPEEDWAY.
The venue really was up against it from day one, with lack of spectator parking and traffic congestion issue on the public roads, prior to and after racing and possibly the biggest problem was the increasing value of the land in the area. The speedway did end up closing in 1954.
