Here's a link to a video simulation of the Meadowdale track that gives you a feel for how it was to drive it.
The banked Monza turn near the end was leveled flat by the time the Trans-Am race came in 1968 however.

Check out this cool promotional newspaper mailing which is promoting the upcoming Trans Am race at Meadowdale International Raceway in Carpentersville, Illinois.  Pictures of four of the 8 pages appeared in the Ebay ad when it was for sale back in June 2017.  I found it here: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/meadowdale-raceway-1968-trans-am-1872439164

Check out this short but cool film of the 1968 Meadowdale Trans Am.  It seems that it was a part of an AMC producecd film.  I had not seen this before.
