[quote=good hands;355815]I started a facebook page for it a while back but I haven't updated it in a long time. Spent lots of my childhood watching SCCA races there in the 60's.

I raced an Alfa there in "G" in 1961. That oval was fun. You lined up on the oval made a 180 and headed off onto the track over a hump.

WOW, my office is just a couple of miles away and I had no idea it was there. I'll be stopping by soon

Besides the fact Gurney, Penske, Holbart others raced there, see the reference and pix of Don Yenko in the 'vette?

very cool.

I did my first driver's ed (PCAP) there in 1966. I heard that someone in a race went off the track into the creek and the foliage was so thick that they had to search to find the car.

I don't remember which car went off the track into the creek. (The car I was driving at the time was a 1960 356B Roadster (no roll bar; no arm restraints).

That's what I meant. How long did you have it? Nearly new in '66.
