Jackson Motor Speedway, Jackson Mi. Been going since I was in a stroller and use to be put in the front seat to help pack the track so I was told. Grandparents built it in the late 40's. and sold it mid 60's. It was a high banked oil clay track that was very dangerous. After a few years they made into a 3/8 paved track. We ran bikes, super modifieds, midgets, sprints and stock cars. Many Marc Times invitational 100 lappers for stockers. Chitwood thrill shows and I remember Evil doing a long bus jump end to end. I'm sure Crocky was there too. Some big open wheel shows. I never missed a race there that I can remember from 58 on. It closed in 73.
