I am trying very hard to get equal coverage
for Maine on my website. However, I don't have much access to information on
many of the photos I obtain, so there may be errors such as the wrong track
involved - and there may be more unidentified drivers than i would prefer. I am
doing everything I can to give the Pine Tree State a fair shake. If you see
errors or you can help with who someone is please let me know at
wladabou@comcast.net.
Thanks.

This photo really
captures the essence of what is Unity Raceway since its inception.

Historic Aerials.Com
This recent
aerial view of the Unity Raceway layout is not much like it was in 1956 [below].
Early drivers
competed on a sort of tri - oval track. Early photos show houses, across the
street from part of the track,
getting a good view and a whole lot of dust. I cannot tell where these houses
would be from the 1956 aerial view.
