Detroit's hidden Veladrome - late 60's oval track re-discovered

[stylzracing]

Haven't been able to find the link on DTT, so i figured i would share. This past summer a lawn mower gang out of the Detroit area stumbled upon an old oval track. They cleaned the area up and rode the embankment with photos and videos to gloat. I have been discussing this track with friends and locals......lucky for me i live within 5 miles of this glorious retro track. Hopefully i'm not double posting this. Here is the link to local web article.
