[pwd72s]

I drove Woody Creek decades ago, before it became a private track...members only thing now. I doubt it was a race....would be difficult to go wheel to wheel on what was then a slightly glorified go-kart track. Narrow....maybe 20 feet? So I'm thinking wealthy guys making timed laps in street cars probably way overpowered for a track that small. Don't think my '72 911S ever got out of 3rd gear. The longest straight, leading to a right hand sweeper, was maybe 1/8th mile...probably less. Article says hit a wall? No walls then, but there were some pretty large boulder sized rocks placed around the perimeter. Recall that those made me nervous, so I didn't push things, figuring no trophy was worth dinging my car.

Keep in mind, the last time I drove there was the 1978 PCA Parade. The track might be totally different now, but because of location I can't see it's layout being altered enough to make it anything resembling a high speed race course. "Woody Creek Raceway" was a misnomer...it really was a go-kart track.
