The Racetrack still exists under the lake. When Buford Dam and Lake Sidney Laurel were made in the 50s, the track was flooded over along with many homes. 700 people were relocated due to this. In the late 2000s severe drought lowered the lake level and the bleachers from the old track started to show.

  • It's Lake Sidney Lanier, not Laurel.
