Meadowdale International Raceway

Our mystery location is Raceway Woods, a public walking/jogging/bicycling park between  West Dundee and Algonquin along Rt. 31.  A silo from the earlier farmstead was painted for the Raceway back in 1958 and it still stands, now repainted as a wonderful souvenir of the times.  From 1958-1967 this was Meadowdale International Raceway, a 2.75 mile track for the much more complex European style of racing.  The course had hairpin turns and a Monza wall, where drivers had to keep up to speed as they raced along the upper areas of the wall without falling.  A straightaway nearly a mile long promoted high speeds.  Google the Meadowdale name and find out much more about this interesting place to visit.
