After Jim left to pursue other business, I continued with mom til we ended up closing a few years later. We had a 200' x 100' oval with a road coarse in the middle, this track was origonally a 1/4 mile midget oval in the 60's. The dirt track was 125' x 85' red clay. Best part of the dirt track was based on suggestions from a friend we added gypsum to the dirt to keep it from clumpping and packing and tires never wore out. All you need were a set of step-pin rears and any front you like to dial in the steering.
That's right!!! I remember Norm! that was who ran the track when I used to race there way way back in the day.. man what memories! As a matter of fact.. I have some pictures of me at the track back in 89!
