This track was built by the city street dept. for the purpose pur-pose of keeping the four wheel drives and dune buggies off the foothills. It gives them a place to go and let off steam-make a little noise and play in the mud. The money collected at the gate goes for trophys. and any left over will go towards improvements on the Round-About Round-About Race Track for the summer program. This function fun-ction is self supporting and costs the city nothing it is run under the recreation program. Frank Mills is the councilman in charge of it. This is just one more function our city has for our enjoyment. |
