We have been there a few times and it is really a great dirt track. They ran mostly special event late models and modifieds and I think maybe a sprint race or two. They had a big early season race that we went to the first weekend of March one year. Over 70 late models and over 90 modifieds. One of the best run show I have ever been to.

Not quite sure why it closed other than I think that region of the country took a pretty good hit when the economy tanked. Whenever we were there, they had great car counts and the stands were full. I also would hate to see this place end up something other than a racetrack.

Seen the WOO sprints there and several big late model shows. Great place. Just needed better management and for sure better surface. If you happened to sit in turn 4, you better be ready to dodge all the rocks.
