I went to Wee Town back in the 1980′s. Helped Rick Krump with his ‘stock car’ and even won the mechanics & ex-drivers race with Rick’s car. Fond memories… Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Originally opened in 1962, the speedway went through multiple owners and several periods of inactivity over the years. In 1986, high water began to become a problem at the speedway, and the track was closed from 1987 to 1989. It reopened in 1990 before closing down for good in 1993. What you see below is how it looks today, nineteen years after it shut down. The pits and a good portion of the track are completely flooded.
