I was goofing around on Google Earth and looked up THAT. I do not know how old the image is, but I expected to see weeds growing in the track and poor condition.
What I saw was a pit full of haulers and what seems to be a couple of Mods on the track. The track had taken rubber so they must of run a bunch of laps.
What was strange also, there seem not be any spectators. No cars parked anywhere except the pit area and a few around the office.
Was this some kind of test session?
Does anyone know when this image was shot and what was going on?

If I pan over to my house, Don, I can see the image is at least three years old. My wood fence isn't there yet and I can see a car I got rid of a long time ago.

I pulled Gas City and it looks like they are having a practice day. And when I went to Kokomo it looked like they were in their reconstruction mode. Not to say that they were all imaged on the same day, but if they were it would at least narrow the year down since Kokomo was rebuilding.

Its kinda cool that there were cars on two different tracks at the time of the shots.

Yes, it looks to be a weekend too judging from the amount of cars in the mall parking lot.
I never knew there was a go kart track northwest of THAT, (glad the kids didn't know either) although we raced karts on the track just south of the 1/2 mile a few years back with the SIRA. The track sure seemed bigger then.

I still wonder why all the haulers in the pits and no spectators?
What was going on?

It actually looks like a sprint/midget on the track being pushed off.
You better take care of me, Lord. If you don't you're gonna have me on your hands.
