I used their tracks by state listing on their website. It may have been there before but it isn't listed as an active track unless it is known bya different name. If I am wrong I apologizze But of course they still list the RCA dome and that hasn;t hosted races in a while. Sadly it won't again anytime soon. ANyone remember Team Indiana VS Team USA in the indoor midget shows? Wished I could have seen those |

Jungle Park. Now there's a place I wish I was old enough to have seen racing at. 1/2 mile track. Dirt turns. Paved straighaways. It was a one-of-a-kind place.

Re: Favorite track that is no longer around
May have already been mentioned, but anyone remember the short-lived half mile at White City,Illinois? Built by the Mid-State Motorcycle Club for bikes, it was an extreme "paper-clip" layout, with an enormous drop off along the back stretch and guardrails only on the turns and front straight:eek:
My last time there was for a...:action-smiley-049:wang sprint car show, which had about 50 cars in the pits and 100 spectators in the stands. Just prior to hots, the bambulance quietly left the grounds and lo and behold, the announcement was made that the show was cancelled due to a lack of safety team.:rolling: Hmmmm.......wonder if ol' DA was around central IL back in the mid 80's?:D |

1) 1/2 mile dirt north of Champaign Illinois close to Fisher.
2) 1/4 mile dirt at the Champaign County Fairgrounds (inside the 1/2). 3) And of course, Shaheen's Lil Springfield.:checkered: |

Re: Favorite track that is no longer around
May as well mention the old Columbus Motor Speedway a/k/a "The Hill", just southeast of town. It closed in 1958 and yes, I can recall going there on a Sunday afternoon.
