Mystery Fayetteville 1/2m


Historic Speedways and Ghost Tracks

I have been searching for a 1/2 mile track that ran "sprints" (roadsters?) in 1937. I came across this on a 1951 aerial. This oval lies 1.5 miles due East of the current Fayetteville Motor Speedway dirt track. Does anyone have any info on the track I am looking for?

New mystery track... Maybe?


Historic Speedways and Ghost Tracks

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

New mystery track... Maybe?


Historic Speedways and Ghost Tracks


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?

Valdosta Mystery


Historic Speedways and Ghost Tracks


While searching for Thunderbowl Speedway, I came across a mystery track. It lies 1/2 mile ENE of the remnants of Thunderbowl. Does anyone know the name of this quarter mile track?  The map coords are 30.920277, -83.380556 if you want to look at it of Google Earth.
