Tim, I was always told "Say what you mean and mean what you say." There are no "take-backs", not unless you're Barrack Obama and you don't want to labeled a "Flip Flopper".

Robert, that's a good analogy comparison of the two; Green Hill and this photo. It's a long shot for sure that this would be Green Hill but it appears in both photos that the turn has some kind of crude cinder block wall that doesn't appear in the straight away and the slope ratio of the bank is very similar in both photos. Another thing that is interesting is, the large jagged rock in the infield, much like would be found in a more mountainous area, not typical of lower farm land, sand, or clay. So the topographical region could be correct.
You have a lot of experience and as usual, I didn't catch the added number one and that's the cool thing about photos, everyone sees something different and has good information to add no matter how big or small the findings.
As for where I got the photo, I can't remember.
TMC, read the forum "Green Hill Speedway..." and look at the picture...it's very similar to this photo...could it be?
Most racing photos from the past are of car and driver but, every once in a while I come across a photo that tells more of a story in the background and foreground than just the subject. Here is another good example of what's going on in a photo other than a parked car with a it's driver striking a pose for the camera. This unknown driver and track tells a story that only a few racing veteran fans ever got to witness. Click the photo for a larger image. What are your thoughts? raw photography at it's best.
Dave, we've been known to cross a few fences in search of the temple of the lost clay oval
This gem was found at Hemmingway Speedway in Marion County, SC if my memory serves me correct.
A day trip is in order to uncover "Raceway Archeology"
Racing has never been short of tempers and heated exchanges, it comes with the territory. I don't condone it but, you know the old saying "If you can't take the heat..." That goes double for Busch.
"A NASCAR official was pushed on to the hood of a car during the incident, but no punches were thrown."
From the looks of the hood it appears the NASCAR official getting pushed on the hood damaged Kurt's car pretty darn good.
Gene is an excellent ambassador for the raceway. Keep it up!
