Baton Rouge International Speedway
Historic Speedways and Ghost Tracks
When I was young (5-8 y.o.) JIS was my home track, 1969-72. I have very few memories of it. I do remember the very low 1 rail armco guardrail down the backstretch that was very easy to go over. Also the treacherous "3 foot flat lip" on the frontstretch, that would suck you into the front wall if you got your right sides off the banking onto the flat.
Jackson was one bad fast joint. It and Winchester swapped the "Supermodified World record" regularly.
Lake Speed of NASCAR fame and former karting World Champion drove late model Camaros there.
The "track rule" was under caution, if you pit, you get your spot back in the lineup. Regardless of how many laps you were in for service as long as you were back on track before one to go. With all the crazy rules NASCRAP has implemented in the last few years maybe this will be next! LMAO
