MEADOWDALE FINAL

I have a book on the track. It might be available on Amazon or EBay. We had a farm several miles from the track & we could hear the big bore racers. My dad took me to a few of the races there. Thanks for sharing the video.

Hi Bill, thanks for the flick! So what went wrong there . . . why did it close?

I don't know why YT removed comments and reduced the res from 720 to 480.

mostly the noise but my dad said cars used to fly off the monza corner and land on rt 31 from time to time and that might have had something to do with it too. In freshman year shop class they showed a reel to reel movie of a race there was pretty cool. Me and some friends had a really cool motocross track laid out there in the 80's. Now it's got mountain bike trails throughout, i went there on my mountain bike this year, it's pretty intense.

I heard it was a very dangerous track.

The wikipedia article says there was a fatal crash there on the inaugural weekend, and from then on the track had a reputation as a "killer." I live very close to it. It's a nature park with trails now, and despite what it says online, barely anything of the track remains.

Safety concerns. Track wasn’t seeded properly so it effectively became dusty every 5 minutes.

Music is annoyingly out of period. Playing 20s jazz for a 1965 video of a racetrack

Rather have silence. Other than that, great video - Thanks!
