I heard the rumor that it was dirt over pavement. I did a little research. It was originally built as a dirt track, but was paved for awhile during the 70s. Now, according to what I found, the pavement was torn up and the track returned to dirt. It can be difficult determining authenticity, though, when your sources are on the internet.

On a side note, Casey Shuman told me that his uncle won a midget show, on dirt, back in the 70's, and I found that to be true, in a Gamester car back in 73.
