It's only 14 miles from ESTA Safety Park.

I don't see any grandstands indicated. Is this going to be a commercial track or a club track?

While ESTA isn't exactly state of the art, I would hate to see it close due to competition. I have some good memories of "the swamp" from high school. Unfortunately, living in Virginia I haven't been there in many years.

Okay. I thought it might be one of the club tracks that have been built in some areas. They sell memberships, like a country club, and it helps keep insurance costs down. The downside is they can't have spectator events.

Scott, ESTA, Cicero, the Swamp whatever you want to call has not changed much since the 60's. Still pretty much the same place as you remember it. If this new track has events on Sunday, it may affect ESTA.
