    Does anyone know of a closed 1/8 mile oval track that used to be between Amarillo and OKC, along Rt 66? I'm on a scavenger hunt and could use a clue please :)

    There was a black widow race track just south of Oklahoma City in Lexington OK on Moffit Rd
    and there was the State Fair ground speed way that was closed and torn down

    That track appears to have been "temperately closed" for a very long time.
