and the track sat unused until Lindy Vicari got hold of it in the early eighties. He made it a mile dirt track and ran special events on it for about a year and a half until that enterprise went belly up. One regret I have is that I never saw a race on either of the dirt incarnations, because I'd heard they were pretty cool. Roger Penske then bought it and built a paved superspeedway, later selling out to I. S. C.. Reputation was that the track was lame, but when I heard it was closing I decided to go over there for the USAC Midgets and Sprints on their last weekend of racing.
It was a pretty poor excuse for a racetrack. I don't think there was a seat in the place where one could see the whole track, turn 2 was
a mystery from just about anywhere. Traffic must have been awful if they ever got a crowd, I don't see how 248 and 191 could handle much traffic. But it's gone. I. S. C. sold it off with a clause in the deed stating that the property can't be used for a speedway.
