Not sure about this one, but images on "Race Track Drive", Bunn, NC reveal the unmistakeable image of a ghost track. The current photo barely shows a trace of the old track, but it's clearly revealed in the B/W 1993 Terraserver image. Anybody know the details on this old track?

I found this. It is from a zone meeting in 1990. It was listed as "race track road".

Chairman Wynne recognized County Planner Richard Reid who discussed the following amendment:


2) Request by Albert Height & Carolyn Ray for a special use permit for open air games and sporting events (raceways/truck pulls) on 49.84 acres on the northeast side of SR1711, west of Bunn.

That's the same place, "SR1711" current name is "Gus McGhee Road" but it's one and the same, and a side street off of SR1711 is "Race Track Road"
