Today I was searching for the Dunn one mile track on an old USGS aerial dated NOV 11. 1950 and ran across a dirt 1/2 mile.

It lays halfway between Erwin and Dunn, NC.

South of E. Denim Drive, North of Anitoch Church Rd. / Averasboro Rd.

West of Lucas Rd. / Coy Lucas Rd.

There looks to be a radio tower on the old front straight.

Any thoughts?

Edit: Just rechecked my info Dunn track size is unknown. Ran in 1934. Track is still visible. This might be it.
