Steve,
Were you able to drive up to it?
Did you drive or walk the track?
Are there any buildings or stands left?

Glenn, I did drive on the track, but I have a 4X4 Suburban. A regular car might not make it over a small berm that you have to drive over from Rt. 34. The property was operated as a landscape nursery for many years and there are building remnants from that business. No stands or buildings are left that I could see, although the trees might be hiding a foundation or pile of debris.

Thanks for the reply Steve, maybe it's an illusion,but the track appears to be pretty narrow.
