Meadowdale International Raceway - Great New Site

Check out   http://www.homestead.com/meadowdaleraceway

This is a new website dedicated to Meadowdale International Raceway, a
long defunct road racing course in Carpentersville, IL. For newbies out
there, Meadowdale was 3.27 miles long with a 4,000' straight, exciting
elevation changes and a steeply banked 180 degree turn called the Monza
Wall. It operated from 1958 to 1968. Pro and club races for sports cars,
USAC, NASCAR, motorcycles and karts were held there.

In addition to vintage photos, the site has pictures of a lap of the
track taken this month. Unlike most old tracks, Meadowdale has not been
taken over by tract houses or industrial subdivisions. The property is
intact. In fact, 90 acres of it are now a public nature preserve, open
for you to visit!

There is a link to Bill Maloney's 1963 track test of a Corvette Grand
Sport.
