In the summer I visited a "Ghost Speedway" here in the GTA. This is what's left of Speedway Park, a abandoned race track just north of Stoney Creek, Ontario. It was in operation as a paved 1/3 mile oval from 1971-1975.

Lots of info on the track here:

2. Walking up to the track. You can see the outline of the banked corners.


3. Looking down the backstretch


4. Looking into Corner 3


5. Part of the wall still stands along the front stretch
