Meadowdale International Raceway was a race track used for motor racing from 1958 to 1968. As originally opened, the track was 3.27 miles (5.26 km) long, with a banked 180 degree curve, known as the Monza Wall, leading onto the 3/4 mile front straight. The track is now in a forest preserve, nature area, recreation area called Raceway Woods. What's left of the track surface (except the Monza Wall) has been converted to a hiking/biking trail.
