Just got word that Hilltop has shut down for the year.

Last night of racing will be July 8th. This is from their facebook page as follows:

 

"With heavy hearts we officially announce we will not be finishing the rest of our racing season and the gates of Legendary Hilltop Speedway will be closed indefinitely. Due to circumstances out of our control, the final race ever to be ran at Legendary Hilltop will be an Enduro race on July 8th.

We are aware of the many rumors circling the racing world and regret to inform you that we can not put all to rest, just understand that if we could keep the track, we would. We would like to thank all race fans, drivers, and workers who have helped support us throughout these 6 years. Your love and support has been unmatched and we are forever grateful to have such an amazing race family. We would like to also thank the Weppler family, for without their years of hard work and dedication in bringing the track back from the dead, many great memories would be lost.

 

With years of history and great stories this track has brought, we ask that you leave your favorite memory with us, whether it is from before or after the tracks restoration. We ask that you all join us July 8th for our Enduro race to see racing at Legendary Hilltop Speedway one last time."

You can thank the people around the track for shutting it down.

Is that the track you look like a racoon when you leave?

No, that's Amish Hilltop in Millersburg.

If it's the one down by the river, we raced karts there one night about 20 years ago while out in OH for a money race at 339 Speedway in Barlow. Hilltop was pretty rough and looked somewhat abandoned from years past; too bad it closed again.

where is this place?
