I was looking for a picture of the alfa that ended up in the dan river last spring and found this website instead. Pretty cool, check it out:

Good find Mr. X15. I never realized how similar the present layout was to the original one from 1957...

 

Some great photos on that site.....

Hardcore.



Rollercoaster



Esses



Oak Tree

 

SEDIV autocrossers should be familiar with Corvette driver "Fast" Phil Currin.

Fast Phil circa 1972 (the #99 vette)...



Looks like Phil finished 6th. Hurley Haywood and Peter Gregg won (in the #59 Porsche... Go figure.)
I was 4 years old.
The coolest thing is that I'm pretty sure Phil still owns that car.


Willie Shuldt was also a corvette entrant in that race. Willie was a SEDIV Solo I hillclimb regular until he passed away a couple of years ago.

 

Thanks for sharing.

Interesting names I found (Randy Canfield, Hardy Prentice, Ken Slagel)

How is this for a worker station?

Does this shot in the paddock make BeaveRun look dry?

Wow, a hogpen in Hogpen.

I miss living 50 minutes from that track....

 

Track history is so awesome. This place ( http://www.lynndalefarms.homestead.com/ ) used to be about 10 minutes from where I live now! It's now a subdivision. Too bad the track only lasted 4 years.
