Old track?

Anyone know anything about this old track? It's just east of McCormick's Creek park on the south side of 46.

There was a rather lengthy thread about this track last year. Perhaps someone will provide a link.

I know that is not Sweet Owen, It is closer to Elettsville. I think that it is an old Nursery/Sod Farm behind Richards Small Engines. It would also be east of Hendrix Road.

I'm not sure what it is, but it's definitely not the old Sweet Owen track. That is west of Spencer.

Thanks, thought it was too big to.be Sweet Owen and couldn't remember any other tracks in that area. I always liked finding satellite pics of old tracks, never realized there were so many old tracks around before google earth came out.

Here's a pic of the old Eureeka track, heard a lot of stories about this track from my dad, guess this was a pretty wild place in it's day.
