I wish I had a picture, but I was surprised how long a very large sign directing motorists to Roosevelt Raceway that were in or near Roosevelt Mall stayed up. It was a rusty, old looking thing that remained intact years after the track closed. For a while I thought they were to keep it there as a historic monument or something, lol.

Back In the late 70's I went with some buddies and hit a trifecta for $1,200. Used the winnings to take a cruise and met my future wife. Found memories of RR.

Yes, this. Went a lot to the flea market. Never went to it as a racetrack.

When did it change over from a racetrack to a flea market?


I was born early 80's. I only remember the flea market.
