also known as Gayland Speedway, well documented semi banked dirt stock car track which operated many years through the 50', 60's and early to mid 70's. Unfenced, many drivers would find themselves in corn fields if they failed to make the first or second turns, or even the Juniata river if they failed to negotiate turns 3 or 4 to the north west. Last promotor was Gaylen Whetstone of Woodbury, PA. Ironically a school athletic track sits very near the site of the speedway.
