(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>We\u2019d never been.\u00a0 Though we REALLY like the Straight-Axle Mafia (US-60 is their official \u2018home\u2019), nostalgia racing, and old tracks with history we\u2019ve never been.\u00a0 And get this\u2026.its IN TOWN.\u00a0 Expecting to find it just outside of town we drive right past it and completely missed the sign (complete with a Christmas tree).<\/p>\n

The track opened in 1964 alongside highway 60 and was an immediate success.\u00a0 Many of the sport\u2019s famous (or infamous) names have raced there over the years.\u00a0 The tower is a unique piece with a panoramic view of the surroundings.\u00a0 The people are friendly and the track seems to have some decent hook as you will see in other articles.\u00a0 After a full day there my son and I have decided this is our new favorite track.\u00a0 We will definitely be back.<\/p>\n

Some highlights:<\/p>\n

Awesome black T coupe<\/p>\n

Shorty \u201957 that prefers to be on its back two tires<\/p>\n

\u2018Zorro\u2019s Charger\u2019 Kellison<\/p>\n

Gorgeous blue Catalina<\/p>\n

Enjoy.<\/p>\n
