I also agree with the "Diving Off the Banking Feeling" beeing the best and which took on a whole new meaning when they used to hold races at Trenton Speedway. Any one remember that? or been there, done that? Trenton Speedway was used to hold Indy Car Races. As I remember it had the same degree banking as T-Town but it was about three times as wide. When you went to the top of the banking there you were about four stories high..Not too many tied and soldered road wheels there...
