Midwest ghost track, with pictures

OK, one of the LuvRacing photographers, Tom Botos, recently visted Rockville IN, home of the old Jungle Park Speedway. Took some great pictures and wrote a little article aboutit as well. Got to www.LuvRacin.Com, and visit Tom's page under Writers & Photographers. Not only did Tom take some pictures, he also wrote a little piece on the track. The trac closed for good in 1960, but you'll be surprised as to how well the covered grandstands look after 40 years.

After I saw this, I went and looked it up to see if it was still visible, and it really is.

this is really cool. my grandmother grew up in that area. heard some interesting stories about it at different shows and such pretty cool place drove by a couple months ago. It would be real cool to be able to race at a place in the hills and woods like that cool stuff.
