Thanks dude 👍🏼

Yeah we ain't got money to fix up something like that government's too busy laundering/spending our money in Ukraine

I have been there.

What camera are you using?

50,000 airsoft players used to live here

NASCAR has got to start jumping on these 1/2-5/8-3/4 mile tracks that are just being forced to close and turning to ruins. There’s gotta be something done, I keep suggesting a mini summer season, on top of the season itself, 8-12 races, all more local tracks, 10-20k seating is fine, drivers/teams can opt to skip them but make it more of a Monday-Wednesday race day thing across the country where the purses are decent and they can reach back out to the fan group they’ve abandoned by going bigger and bigger, give back to the grassroots. They make excuse that they wouldn’t have enough seating, look at the stands at a lot of cup races it’s pitiful. It was better this season than it has been for a while, but still that’s after most tracks have 50-70% less seats and the remainders a fifth usually covered with corporate banners so the races can be considered “sold out” if they did something with this track like they did wilksboro, make it look nostalgic that is what’s in right now, do so with a few more tracks, I guarantee you drivers/teams will want to do a summer heat racing series on top of the regular season for additional income and bring back to the grassroots fans who continue to pack local tracks everywhere while slowly losing the ones that even they are doing great.

Please can I get one

I wish all FPV cams had metal lock rings, they would always break after a few crashes and I could never get it focused right

Always wanted to fly it when I drove by but didnt have the balls

I started my professional drone journey at this venue. It will be missed by many

I learned something today!

How do you see where you are flying. Where’s the camera and video your phone ?

A lot of good memories at that place

a bit late, but what stick ends are those?

Do you have a parts list for this build?

Danggg smooth shots!! ❤

This will be New Orleans biggest mistake they have ever made! Same with any amusement park that closes for any reasons and those that get rid of good classic coasters!

Thanks for sharing. So sad. Didn't the Holly Springs police department use one of the buildings as it's station for a while after 2000?

This is such a shame. The school across the street owns the property and could restore the buildings to their former glory. The Black-owned schools are always forgotten and neglected by their community. Especially, the historical private schools.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I am from here and moved away, but I definitely will inquire to see how these buildings can be restored.

Neat video. I'd never considered using drones to explore old buildings. I bet at some point you'll save on not needing tetanus shots. :D

Also when it's on the national registry you can not use just any building materials.

I sure in today's time it would be alot more than 4 million. And if I'm not mistaken within that grant they had to pay the gov. for it.

I am from there and always have had questions. What sources did you get you your fats from>? I'd like to read more.

They had a 4 million dollar federal grant to fix up the auditorium and did work on the front then apparently gave up.

Great production. Excellent filming. Great narration. Lots of information. Good Job.

It's sad watching all these raceways become nothing more than a memory.

The next installmet of ABANDONED AMERICA is live: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6CtlqiVfbWlrtEsi=nD2q6TmElB0Oe43m

First!

thank you!

Great tutorial with examples of what the options actually do! Thank you! Also, loved seeing the disc golf baskets! What course is this? 🤘

An age ends with the demolition of this park. Once upon a time all the major parks of the 2000s were still standing, Geauga Lake and Six Flags NO being the top 2 "abandoned ones". This was the last major abandoned park left standing after Geauga Lake got demolished a year or so ago, now this one is being demolished. That's it, there will be no more abandoned amusement parks left standing

As both a Memphian and NASCAR/NHRA fanatic, this hurts and sucks to learn about. Hell I've volunteered to drawn up plans for saving or resurrecting the racing grounds because it was needed to feel one at home and two like the other tracks in schedules like the rock is coming back after it's last race in 2004, north wilksboro in the all-star feature holder and with enough time Chicagoland could be back on thecircuit - no pun intended 😂. I need to chat with REAL investors, track owners and car enthusiasts to get this and bring REAL racing back to the south. I love my city (from a distance) yet this allured me the most for racing is my favorite sport 😢😢😢...

I used to race a Yamaha FZR 600 at Memphis Motorsports Park in 90, 91. Sad to see. Good memories of that track. I live in Madison, MS. So it was a local track for us.

I worked the infield care center several times for truck and Busch races

I worked an ARCA race there in 2017. Harrison Burton won and our team finished 2nd. I enjoyed the facility and the track had some good racing!

Memphis is a shithole tooo much crime

I grew up in the pits of that dirt track. My uncle raced stock cars. Great memories made there & the drag strip. So sad to see it go

Does anybody know why this track has a weird grandstand formation?

Many Great Memories of the Drag Strip and Dirt Track even the Oval track

The big oval was last to be put in. It’s budget killed the dragstip and road course. They were never able to put enough stands in to make it profitable. It would have survived if the big oval wasn’t there and they kept the dirt track. They just weren’t going to make NASCAR money without the stands. That’s why NASCAR pulled their races.

What frame is that you are using

That place was my summer job when I was in high school. So sad to see it in that state.

Man this my local track growing up. Once they shut the dirt track it started losing money fast.

What a shame!

At one point in the early 2000s, the NASCAR Busch (now Xfinity) Grand National Series ran here, as well as in Nashville (Fairgrounds, then Superspeedway), AND Bristol (if I'm not mistaken, the Trucks ran at all three tracks, too). Hate to see Memphis Motorsports Park (as it was once known) in that bad of shape.

This track was about a mile from my house. I spent just about every Thursday of my teens and 20s there for test and tune. Really hated to see it go. The closet track we have now is Holley springs ms and I don’t really care to go there

The days of back pocket money , going somewhere without getting shot , and eating food you can afford is gone . . . 😢

I did an SCCA driver's school on the road course in 1986. I recall that it was perhaps the first event because even the instructors were still learning the course. That was a private event so it could be that the facility was not deemed "open to the public" until 1987. That year SCCA ran a Trans Am race but there was not much of a turnout. "Spectator" events on the road course were a bust because neither SCCA, the track, nor local sponsors had much of a marketing budget.

NASCAR Craftsman Truck you mean?
