Looking back at Limaland it doe's not look like they could even have cars park in the infield but that is where they parked. The light poles were in there also with mounds of dirt around them. The pond to water the track was off of what are now turns 3 & 4, Right in the Y part as you come in between the pit & general admission areas.
The funny thing is when some of the younger fans/college kids are out there I tell them, ya see where the UNOH hauler is parked & they say yeah, I tell them that is where the restrooms were & they were of the outhouse style & they say really !!!

My first was Atomic Speedway south of Chillicothe Ohio in 1957. My Uncle was one of the original owners of the track, so I was at Atomic every Saturday night for most all of my young years. Now 56 years later, I attended my 110th track here in Kansas a few weeks back. A few of my favorites include Kokomo,the old Lawrenceburg,Plant Field,East Bay and Perris.

Once we moved to Indiana it was IRP, then the USAC trail. Didn't really have a weekly track once we started running sprint cars. As it was called back then, It was the USAC traveling circus. Great times for a teenager though.A lifetime of memories.
what? you ran around drag strips.
