Now that Michael brought this thread back to life - I too would like to know what happened to it!

 

Wouldn't it be fantastic if someone had resurrected that track?!!

 

Thanks for inquiring Michael!

I have no idea about the history of that track but I ran on it in Jonesboro Ga in the 80s. We ran scratch built 36D hard-body stock cars on it. As I recall it was not a bad track but the ramps took some getting use to. My memory is not racing on it long before it was replaced with a yellow 220 Engleman.

This track was a Revell track. Revell loved building tracks with vertical turns. I ran on it once when it was in Sacramento back around 67-68.
