    Don, this was the very first video of yours I ever watched.....not long after you first posted it. Back then, I just stumbled across it by total chance. I was fascinated by your adventure. I love this type of intrigue and curiosity!
    I did a similar adventure 2 years ago. I camped out in the country west of Attica during one of their race weekends. I made a point to find an old dirt track in nearby McCutchenville, Ohio. Jac the Wild Child and Brad Doty did some of their very early races there. I found the old abandoned relic hidden behind thick bushes. Some stands and rotten buildings were barely above ground. Last year at Attica, I asked Brad Doty and Jac about this place....and the fact that I found it. They got a kick out of listening to my story of crawling through the bushes to see the layout. It hosted the first Ohio Speedweek. RIP this track. 1971-1987.
    So again, this was my introduction to the History Mystery Man. This video. Still one of my favorites you've done.

      Hey there Lawrenceburg! I love that little town. I did a video about Lawrenceburg once...a little from the cool downtown area and from the track. Super nice track! Thanks Scott...HMM

    Great Video. I live in North Carolina and I just found and did a video on the remains of the Raleigh Speedway which was in the woods. There's a couple more I intend to find this spring.

    You need to go back to that spot in the winter months when the under brush has died back. You would be able to the configuration a lot better

      Good idea...and no bugs and creepy crawlers either. HMM

    You carry that morgan? My sister also gave me one a 1921 but it has a lot of definition left so I don't carry it

    • @HistoryMysteryMan
      @HistoryMysteryMan  3 месяца назад

      In this case, I'm not concerned about the definition; it's just one Morgan. They're are not worth much. And my sister (now deceased) gave it to me; it's my good luck charm. Thanks...HMM

      Cool. I wonder if it was the same footage I looked at? Do you have different footage that what you saw in this video?

    Where roughly by 56 was it?

    • @HistoryMysteryMan
      @HistoryMysteryMan  3 года назад

      If you're headed west on 56, I'd say about a mile from Walmart...on the south side of 56, just behind a corn field...you can see the wooded hill that once held the grandstand...thanks Robert!
