Camden Ohio - G+J Raceway Banking 1971
#8
Never drove any of those. I did run a track in the early '60's called Dizzyland. Modified large oval with a switchback on one straight. It was fast but if you weren't on a really fast kart you still used just the bottom part. On a dual you could run up the banking part way and shoot down. Dangerous is the real answer. We run modern oval karts on and fast 17* banked oval. If you for some reason run or get run off the end at speed you will be 15 feet in the air for 40 feet. I saw one driver break the top bar off the chain link fence 40' off the track. Not good. Just a note. Many drivers try to save a lost kart. If I'm leaving the track I will spin the kart out (to get rid of almost all speed) and leave backwards but never launched forward.
