Ghost Track Photos


This is how Dayus Raceway looked in the summer of 2004 when Ron Nelson visited the site.

The remains of Dayus Raceway are bounded by factories and a strip mall at the corner of Howard and Macdougall in Windsor. The track was fairly overgrown but yet, it's remarkable that anything remained at that point, considering that it is located right in the city and it's been closed since 1956. Sometime since 2004 most of the remaining pavement was ripped up.
