    I remember being out there in the early 70's watching the funny cars with people lined up along the guard rail halfway down the track watching the races. I don't think I've ever seen footage of the track from the 60's. That had to have been a blast.

    And, the place is currently FOR SALE!!! I just hope it does't wind up in the hands of real estate developers. King county should by it, and operate it like Spokane Raceway Park, now owned by the county. I am Butch/56sedandelivery.
