This guy on Youtube checks out abandoned places and buildings. This one he checks out an old race tracks. Figured you all would get a kick out of this.

Metrolina's in worse shape than I thought. Sad.
There is a lot of traffic on internet about the city re-opening the track, Wonder if they wasting time and air writing this or it will actually happen. It looks like mother nature was protecting it somewhat with over growth but that washout looked serious on the track, But it may be a rebitrth yet..
Unfortunately ( or fortunately, perhaps if you're a Charlotte tax payer like myself) , this big pie-in-the-sky project proposed by Simon Weber and embraced by Charlotte City Councilman Patrick Mitchell, Jr. - in whose district the old Metrolina Fairgrounds sits ( off Old Statesville Road not far from the Rod Osterlund/Dale Earnhardt shop ) - seems to have disappeared. The big announcement was made for television news cameras in 2009, with a City Council vote set for rezoning. I haven't heard anything since.
