If You Could Race At 1 Historic Closed Track?

I got to make a pass at Niagara in '04. It's still very smooth all the way down but the rental car was only going about 90.

I had to seek permission to go through the gate there but many other i've been able to just drive on in.

I guess if I could choose a historic closed track that isn't still just sitting there i'd say Orange County.

I'd liked to go back to MN Dragway's. When I was a young teenager, I remember ditching my bike in the wood's right off the CR/242 RR tracks and then sneak in over the fence. John Hagen, Gene Pearson, Denny Mothershed, Keith Newstrom, Don Baierl, Bill Shifsky, John Rivers, Chuck Lofgren, where some my track hero's back then. I remember when I got my driver's license and I could finally enter the the west side pit access. Life was good back then. I remember during a time trial, my M/SA 65 Plymouth was in the oposite lane vs Gene Pearson's "Impossible Dream" B/MP Camaro............That was an eye opener, lol
