What are some Closed Race Tracks you've been to?
 

Talking with some friends and we got on the topic of closed tracks. I'm only in my early 30's so im sure most of you have been to these. But im proud that i was able to attend, Crown Point (closed in 2006,) Baer Field (last race 2019) Mottville, Gas city, Daugherty, Illiana. Which tracks have you all been to that's not closed?
