Here's one no one has mentioned. Terre Haute's "Fast Track" at 25th & Ft Harrison. I remember being there many times when I was small. Probably around '46or'47 to the early '50s. My Dad had a home-built midget he took there. A paved track then with drivers such as Jackie Holmes, Potsy Goacher, and Leroy Warriner. Started out with basic stuff like Ford flathead 60's and variations of "outboard" motors. Then came the 110 Offies and the good times were over. Before it closed and became an industrial area, they ran a lot of junker stocks. I'm not sure when they closed for good. Shortbus might know.
