Off of 44. I don't think there's really a road off of Snake Hill; at least it was gated off and nobody used it the nights I was there. The access off of 44 is pretty steep, and seems twistier (if that's a word) than the aerial shot makes it look, although that may be exaggerated by the slope. If I had hit the Powerball last night the first thing I'd have done is grade a new roadway that took a more gradual climb, and do something to the track entrance and exit ramps to make them less severe. The buildings and main stand are really nice but nothing looks like it was completely finished out. And you're right, the track itself is pretty cool (other than the rocks), nice shape, fairly long straights and a lot of banking; probably the steepest banking I've driven on.
It's like a diamond in the rough, in my opinion, just needs a few more touches to make it a pretty spectacular race track.

Thanks. The only bad thing is it's on a Friday & unless I could get off early I'd be there about race time. Looking forward to it though.

jones752 everything you said is spot on. when you don't own the facility there's only so much you can do. bill wagner and his clan did a great job with what the had to work with. they are good people and wish they could have made it. all I know is since we raced weekly there in the mid 1980's they have went through a lot of people trying to run the place. dating back to the 70's the sprints have always put on a good show there, on the other hand the late model shows suck. that's why there's no support. Aaron looking forward to seeing you again...
