black gold man Posted June 9, 2012 Share #266 Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) That **** went on in my backyard back in the day. My house will be built in upper left corner of this pic. People like Henry Miller and Gar Wood hung out there. In the art post Ron Finch video shows a pic from the raceway maybe 1958. They raced motorcycles too. 1934 I was reading about the guy that built it had made the land owner and lumber yard partners for lumber and land but had to pay 9 bucks cash for the nails witch were hard to come by. http://www.waterwinterwonderland.com/autoracing.aspx?id=1652&type=9 http://alblixtracinghistory.typepad.com/al_blixt_auto_racing_hist/motor_city_speedway/ Edited June 9, 2012 by black gold man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
