That is one that I have never heard of. Where is it located? Is it abandoned?

I believed they filled it up with water and it's a small lake these days. Cataract, Indiana, a short drive from Putnamville. Dickie Gaines won some sprint races there in the 1990's.

I just added some photos of I 69 Speedway when it closed, boy that was depressing to look at.

Tommy, I took those photos in 1998 and it was still running that year. I think that IRL driver Robbie Buhl was racing a legend car at Cataract in those years.

We went over there for a prac. day when they first opened. It was to big and banked for the mini-sprints that we had at that time.

I know you are looking for oval tracks but here are some photos of the old US 30 dragway up in Northern Indiana.

This might be a good place to ask this. Has anybody heard if they are doing the reunion at Jungle Park this fall?
