Neat picture. I only got to the big dirt track at Nazareth (which was a different configuration than above, right?) for my 8th(?) birthday present to watch the USAC Stocks. That would have been summer of 1968 if I have the right birthday. I also went there to watch a combo show on the paved configuration of USAC Siver Crown and Indycars on what might have been the 2nd to last time Indycars raced there. |

Correct Joe. The original track had a longer straight after the dog leg. Lindy eliminated the sharper radius "Rooster Tail Turn" and approx 1/8 mile of the track. Replaced with the wider radius and uphill turn which also shortened the back stretch. |
