In 1972, some friends and I snuck in and rode it on our road bikes. First track I'd ever been on, and I was really scared of the 40+ degree banking - looked like it was straight up! We were on a three-week tour with American Youth Hostels, but were used to riding road races in Southern California. Too bad that track's been torn down; it was a beaut.
I use to race on this track back in the 50s.
