Lost Dirt Tracks facebook feature
Originally the site of a horse racing track, motorsport originally ran in the 1920's and a small amount through the 1930's, The track was originally a half mile dirt oval, which ran up until 1938 when it closed.
Racing returned after World War 2, The track ran a small amount of races in 1948 but it wasn't until 1951 when the track ran most of its racing.
Stock Cars were very popular, the big half mile with very flat corners provided some high speed racing.
Unfortunately this track didn't last long as its final race was in 1954 and had to make way for a new development.
