Peace Haven Speedway Truly Is A Ghost...
Historic Speedways and Ghost Tracks
Lookie what I found!
I finally found a good aerial of Lake Wood in 1950.
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?
Here is Cavalier on Dec. 14, 1959
There is a good aerial on HistoricAerials.com from 1970
I found an interesting aerial of Concord from 1950.
Edit: Just rechecked my info Dunn track size is unknown. Ran in 1934. Track is still visible. This might be it.
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?
Thanks Dennis, did not think to look in street view for a sign.
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.
