 According to Allan Brown's "History of America's Speedways Past and Present", New Egypt opened as a dirt track in 1954, was paved later that season, and didn't return to dirt until 1998. |
|
 From 1998-2000 the track was a quarter mile. This is what turns three and four looked like at that time. |
|
 For 2001, the track was enlarged to slightly bigger than 1/3 mile. This is turns three and four after the track was made bigger. |
|
 Here's a view of turns one and two before the track was enlarged. Note that there were not yet seats in the turns. |
|
 And here are turns one and two on the bigger version of the dirt track. |
|
 New Egypt is known for its good clay, as evidenced in this photo. |
|
 There are now seats wrapping around turn one and almost into turn two. |
