I saw a lot of mentions in the Rainbow thread about Diamond Speedway. Camlobe said it was on the road across from the rock quarry on US158. I found a possible at the end of Flatrock Rd. there is room fo a 1/4 or 3/8 mile track there. Can someone confirm if this is the right location and the track size.

I just talked to a buddy of mine that grew up on Flatrock Rd. If you look at the map on the link you posted there is a building/barn near the bottom of the map. The backstretch of track would have been right at the edge of the trees behind the barn. He said it ran along the banks of the Haw River with just enough room to drive around it. The track was about 3/8 mi.

311rebel I found Asbury Speedway Rd. I can find any sign of the track. The info i have calls it a half mile track. Is that correct? I did find a possible for a 1/4-4/10m oval.
