That **** went on in my backyard back in the day. My house will be built in upper left corner of this pic.

People like Henry Miller and Gar Wood hung out there.

In the art post Ron Finch video shows a pic from the raceway maybe 1958.

They raced motorcycles too.

1934

I was reading about the guy that built it had made the land owner and lumber yard partners

for lumber and land but had to pay 9 bucks cash for the nails witch were hard to come by.

My hero growing up. I feel blessed to have been there and seen him race in person. A great competitor who happened to be a pretty good actor...
