Don't know about that Ed... It has a Gray Bar Motel next door. do a Google Earth fly to: Wichita Raceway Park
Iowa Park, TX
ED,
Notice the nice double fenced area to the north of the track.. Yep that is a prison.
Looks like there is a lot of concrete and pavement there at the tracks.

The track was 1/4 mile in the 60s..The pavement is still there with grass growing through it..It makes for nice "extra" shut off area if a racer needs it..The track hooks very good, smooth track..But yes the shut down is asphalt as it was redone 2-3 years ago and is smooth as well..

Think anybody in Texas gives a flying flock if these fine upstanding citizens would have to hear cars racing all night? I would hope not.
Is it near Wichita Falls home of Eddie Hill?

They have a pic of Eddie Hill from the early 60s on the starting line and i think it shows his car with dual rear wheels and he tore up the asphalt when it left the starting line..
