In 1926 an 1/2 mile dirt track came to life in Parke County, Indiana
"It's been over fifty years since the big cars roared aroung the Parke County racing bowl. It was a track where a driver could hardly tell how many curves there were or where the next one started. It was a place where engine noises echoed off the trees and hills like voices in a cave. If you go there, you may experience the presence of ghoasts as well. Parhaps you will encounter a spier darting off the track into the trees or flitting from seat to seat in the old grandstand-empty for so many years. The ghosts are most certainly there." ~Tom W.
