Re: Shut down distances.
Never raced there,but on a visit to a friend she and my wife went shopping.They dropped me off at S.E. Int'l Raceway (Ithink that's what it was called) in Dallas Ga. What a sand pit. That's where Petty lost control of his car and two deaths occured. He was racing against Cotton Owens "Cotton Picker". That car wound up in the Albany NY area. I ran a round against it at the NED Bracket Finals the year it was held in Leb. Valley. Strangely the car wound back up in Ga. when I went to S.E. Int'l. The owner was a guy they called Uncle Milty. The next time we visited the track was closed. I drove in and looked the place over. The tower was still there, with paperwork scattered all over the floor.This was the mid 90's if I remember correctly.
