Jack, wasn't this race part of the annual fair, and wasn't it the last stock car race at the Dixie Classic Fairgrounds?

That's it Robert, the oval to the left center of the photo. The site is now 'Eagles Nest Golf Course', thanks.

There was a race track at that site, Little River Raceway, late 1960's. None of the conventional aerial sites go back far enough to have it. I thought the historic aerials may show it.

Great work, Robert! You are correct, nobody seemed to know the exact location of Lakeview. The new highway being built over the original site made it tough to discover. Glad you found it!

Went to a fight, and a race broke out...........I remember reading an account of this race, Richard said during caution laps, he kept entertained "watching a bunch of drunks fighting in the stands........."

One of the boldest moves NASCAR has made in a long time (since 1970 to be exact); looking forward to it!
