I had the pleasure of racing there once. The banking was incredibly steep. They tried to start the cars going down an equally steep gravel hill, then thought better and rolled the cars down the hill and started them on the track.

Dickie Gaines won that night and I believe it was the night Donnie flipped. They were pooling cash together from track workers pockets to pay the purse, so that was our only trip there.

Good times!

That is so weird! Looking at the satellite image I can totally see it now! How strange that you live there now, and it was a dirt track just years ago. Hah.

Okay, I've looked at Google Earth until I'm cross-eyed, and I can't find it. Can someone list the GPS coordinates or some landmark I can look for or something? I'm just curious. Thanks!

Rule 326 IAC 6-4, in part, prohibits the escape of fugitive dust from the boundaries
of the property of the source.

On October 13, 1996, an inspector from OAM observed fugitive dust generated by race cars cross the property line.

If settlement is not reached within sixty (60) days of your receipt of this Notice, the Commissioner may issue an Order pursuant to IC 13-30-3-4, containing the actions you must take to achieve compliance, the required time frames, and an appropriate civil penalty.
