Just wondering if anyone has tried to go back to the old track to see what's left. I know a subdivision was being built but on Google Maps you can still see part of the track, especially the road course portion but I don't know how old the satellite view picture is.

That's too bad. It would've been cool if they used the old track as part of the roads, streets in the subdivision.

Before they totally destroyed it. I went there after hours and hauled off some of the starting line. Concrete, rubber and all. Made a plaque for my sons birthday with the concrete and other mementos for him to look back on. Had a whole bin of the concrete left over but cleaned out the shop.

I believe the family that died of CO poisoning was the Hill family. We were beside the trailer that terrible morning.

I heard they had to stop building houses because some of the ground was so saturated with oil, trans. fluid, etc.
