The Speedrome was located on Noth Greenriver Road in which is now in the city but then the outshirts. They ran two types of cars back then Modifieds coachs and coupes plus stock cars. Remember they ran on Sunday night and I think the track was a quarter mile high banked clay track they had 2x12;s for the wall in the turns seems like somebody went into the parking lot every night they also ran spectator races too plus midget specials. I was seven are eight when it ran and I thought it was just the coolest thing I ever saw remember a couple drivers names Snooky Bullocks in a #76 and Curly Thornsley #6 and Don Nordhorn in a pink car called the pink lady He later went USAC sprint car raceing My parents and I lived bout 2 miles from the track. Hope this helps out
