    This track had an asphalt straight and dirt/rock on the turns. The straightaway ran downhill, also. A lot of early Indy 500 legends raced here.

    That 65/66 Impala at 1:30 should be saved. I actually have a 65 ss Impala I've been restoring for ever. Parts are hard to find

    Just a couple minutes south of me. Started out as horse racing then into cars in later years. Now during the warmer months they use it as part of the canoe trips down sugar creek.

    I grew up just north of it. I remember hearing about it but we never went. I would have been little when it closed. I vaguely remember hearing about the girl being killed and it closed.

    Do a search on Jungle Park Speedway on the site speedway androadracehistory.com Some really cool pictures of the races. My husband’s cousin was Wilbur Shaw, although he never saw him race there.
