A good article in the March 09 issue of SportsCar.

It's an interesting historical article about tracks set up on airfields and industrial parks(damn that sounds fun)!

Easily the best reading from that zine since I began browsing it.

I guess there have been other Ghost Track articles, I seem to have never read them.

It is a series that has been running for a while. There is a full book on them by the same author.

And wasn't there a feature on a track in Reno? I remember a video or something at the SCCA meetings a while back.

EDIT: Go google!

Vintage video
The latest addition of the Sports Car magazine had an article about Ghost Tracks. One of
the tracks right here in Reno and ran around Virginia Lake. Jim Gandy managed to come
up with a video from 1952 that showed cars racing around that track. It had been
transferred to a DVD and was shown and enjoyed by all.
