Randall Klein mentioned the track in another thread and got me thinking about it. I was too young, born in 72, but my dad used to take my brother there before I came along and all I have is the mental pictures from their stories. Do any of you guys have some pics you could post? I drive past the spot where Cornhusker used to be all the time, and it just looks like a great spot for a track...except now the entire place is covered in stacks of rusty 24" steel pipe. And surrounded by subdivisions.

In or around 1970, there was a new strip built in Omaha just West of town, so close to I-80 that you could almost watch the racing as you drove by on the freeway.
Whas that "Cornhusker"? Seems like it wasn't in operation for very long at all... maybe 4 or 5 years... ???? Thanks for any information! Bill
