I grew up about a half mile from a 1/5 mile oval track. It was the shortest track on the NASCAR circuit. "Stocks" were mostly coupes and sedans from the late thirties, and forties. Also had a 1/8 mile drag strip.
I spent many a weekend there. Unfortunately, as what has happened to much Americana; "progress" forced it's closing.
