History

The circuit was designed and constructed in 1956 by Sports Car Enterprises, and was opened for racing in August 1957, but was subsequently closed after its last race on 13 October 1974. It was used as cow pasture for 24 years until it was cleared and repaved for a new track opening around 2000.
