Meadowdale International Raceway - Gone but not forgotten
After Meadowdale closed in 1969, periodic reports would surface that one group or another was going to get it up and running again.  None panned out and the track sat fallow for over two decades.  This page is a random collection of articles that have appeared about the property since its shutdown.
