MADERA SPEEDWAY's.
1940's MADERA SPEEDWAY [1]
Information is hard to find on this once great oval dirt track in Madera, California. The speedway was built and opened in the 1940's, possibly 1947. At this point we are unable to throw any light on the track's racing, and how long it was open for.
The first of Madera's speedway tracks was built and vacant land on Cleveland Ave Medera, where the Wal Mart building and car park is now.
