Would be fun to go. Used to live on a farm about 60 years ago which was part of the land on which the track was built. Drove by there about 5 years ago. Hardly recognized the area.

wow, how neat is that? There won’t be anything built where I grew up; it will always be rural ranch land.
on the other hand, where I lived in ABQ is quite different now - i look at satellite images from time to time. Houses were built in the empty lot across from the house, a business was put in in the field behind the house, and they paved the street!
