History

In 1949, Bob Kitzmiller and his fellow racers wanted a different track to race on, and Bob decided that one of his fields would be an excellent site for a new one. Driving his Mercury around the field in an oval shape, Bob used the tyre tracks to mark the track edge, and placed stakes in the tracks to again check the distance - this tyre track now marks the inside edge of the present day track.

The track was completed in 1950.
