A giant blue race helmet marks the entrance to the raceway, which was in continuous operation from the early 1970s until abandoned in 2017, after a racing tragedy. The property was purchased in 2020 by motorsports legend Cleetus McFarland. The giant blue helmet is a great photo-op, accessible from the road.

We almost drove right by it! The big helmet looks to be in fair condition.
