Gastrick , this was in your neighborhood....Miami-Fulford Speedway

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Located on Miami Beach at Biscayne Bay, Miami-Fulford Speedway was a 1.25 mile wooden oval with corners banked at 50 degrees. Designed by Ray Harroun, the track was built by Carl F.Fisher, who also built Indianapolis. Only one race meeting was held on the 22nd February 1926, as the track was destroyed by a hurricane on the 17th September 1926, the wood and material being used to rebuild the town of Miami Beach.
The one race meeting held featured a 300 mile race won by Peter DePaolo, with Tommy Milton setting a fastest lap speed of 142.93mph.

50 degree banking, WOW. Too bad the hurricane ended it's tenure after only one race. I'm pretty sure that there was a wood track near my home town of Cincinnati, Ohio too

I checked out the build site and was in touch with the guy doing this work. The going price for one of these very fine engineered replicas is just around $150K large ones. Every bit of these track racers are completely hand built and special casting had to be engineered to build the ten that had been commissioned on this adventure. I recommend for all to take the time to visit the build post and review the videos of the firing of the engine.....its a real raspy little buger. I really enjoyed the reading and thanks for this link.
