I remember the coolest thing about this place was back in the 90s, ASA used to run there regularly. The ASA races were televised on TNN - The Nashville Network, and later.... The National Network. Great stuff.

The biggest odd thing about it I remember reading in a book way back when, was when they opened the track, the banking was higher than your average track. The walls around it, however, were all perpendicular to the GROUND, not the banking. So the walls actually became a launching ramp for cars to go over and outside of the joint.

Subsequently the walls were re-done and were made perpendicular to the banking, like pretty much every other track.

But yeah.... the old ASA races there on TV were top shelf. Thanks for the post.
