The same photo that would have been taken 20 years ago from this same spot would say that this photo is not insignificant.

That was my reason for taking the picture. I don't know if the grandstands will get bigger or smaller or the track will go away altogether, but someone will want to know what it once was. There are many photos of cars and races but you usually don't get more than a peripheral view of what the racetrack looked like. Martinsville is one of the few remaining short tracks and the last of the original Strictly Stock tracks. It's important to the history of the sport.
