            Awesome! I love seeing the old photos of GVRC. I am always looking closely to see if I recognize anyone in the photos. I spent many, many weekends out there watching my father race in the 70's & 80's. Photo #5 looks like it was taken shortly after a typical spring rain out.

It seemed like we were always going to some track on Saturdays and sometimes Sundays too. Green Valley, Kennedale, Paris, Hallsville and Temple were visited by us often back then.

                I know I have posted these somewhere else in the past; however, here are some of my shots from the "last race" at Green Valley.

                        So what happened to this place? Did the city finally start creeping in around it?

                        From what I can find it was in NRH...

                          Yeah, "progress". On the following map, if you look just south of the marked address, that is sadly all that remains of the track. http://maps.google.com/maps?q=8100+O...04128&t=h&z=17 Some land developer bought land right up to the track and then started crying about the track. Political (financial) forces being what they were, the developer won. Now it's cookie cutter homes and suburban sprawl instead of "Sunday!, Sunday!, Sunday!..."

                              I would hate to see it happen; but, I will be surprised if Kennedale & Cowtown do not suffer from the same fate in the not so distant future.

                                I did my first "legal" drag race on that track.
