Also, do you know when this track was built? It looks fairly new!?!

What I was told about the "grass" was they sprayed down chicken fat then laid straw over it to keep the dust from blowing. This was quite a few years ago. It's held up fairly well. There are small clumps of live grass here and there though.

The big grandstand is fairly new. I think it was finished in 2002. They repaved the drag strip in 2001. Jim Meador and I were the last stockers to make a pass on the old track when we ran each other in the final that year.
