Those trees are sure big for a place that closed 8 years ago.

A weed tree can grow that much in 2 years. I fight weed trees constantly.

A weed tree is any tree you don't want to grow.

Hey Mr. Motts -- Just a bit of history from an old fart (73) who remembers several years of stock car racing here during the late '40s and early '50s. The track was clay and ran the complete perimeter of the stadium. Yeah, it was a tight track. but race cars in those days didn't go all that fast. They also held some open wheel races here, and at least two or three hell driver shows a year (local boy Jack Kochman was a favorite). I don't know what year staged the last race -- I moved out of the state in 1950 and have never been back since. But thanks for the memories -- I never thought I'd see the stadium again.

Great shots.

I love Paterson. Hinchcliffe Stadium should be renovated as a center pice of the Great Falls district.

Keep shooting. Great stuff.

I spent all my young days at this stadium. It brings back old memories. Especially the football games between Kennedy HS and Eastside H.S.
