Turns one and two are shaded and have a normally banking. Three and four used to be a backwards banking. It was like racing on the back side of a hill. Don't know if that's ever really been fixed.

When I first went there, the cars pitted in the horse arena in the infield. Tony Stewart has about four or five wins on the track -- including two in one day back in 1990. He won one in about 1992 in which he missed practice, qualifying and his heat, transferred through the feature and started at the tail and drove to the front. It is the most amazing drive I have ever seen Stewart make.

I've always liked the seating on side of the hill. I've also thought that if someone spent a little money they could turn it into a great track for TQs and mini sprints. Who knows, with the TQs still running Honda motorcycle engines and a new Honda plant being built there something could actually happen.
