    Hollywood Hills was a great dirt track built on Tribal land next to a casino about 10 years ago. It was mis-managed and closed more than it was open. A buddy of mine even tried running it for a season but he like everyone else got squashed by the tribe just as things started to get rolling. Its been shut down now for the last several years, likely to never re-open.

    Not sure how true this may be but I was told that the grand stands were not engineered correctly and were too dangerous to hold people. Last I heard they were trying to see if they could repair them to meet specs. But doubtful.

    No, that would be Speedworld Motorplex Dragway which is still in operation. BeeLine preceded Fireturd and hosted the Winternationals for over a decade in the 60s before it closed down.
