This is how
Hurricane Speedway looked in the summer of 2004. Matt Hansford,
who lives in the area, sent these photos to CanadianRacer.com. Matt
and some friends were bike riding and stumbled across the track
one evening. They went back with a camera a few days later.
Hurricane began
as a dirt track and was later paved. The exact years of operation
are unknown but it was operating in the early 1970's and was probably
closed by around 1975.
The front wall and spectator fence are still there. The pits appear
to have been behind the back straight. As noted in the captions,
it looks like you can still see the entrance from the track to the
pits.
If anyone has any more information on Hurricane Speedway - photos,
programs, points champions, years in use, etc please contact me
