1968 Trans Am No. 7 Meadowdale International Raceway (July 7, 1968)

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.

I found this cool ad for the upcoming Trans Am event at Meadowdale in the program for the 1968 June Sprints at Road America that is currently for sale on Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1968-ROAD-AMERICA-YEARBOOK-June-Sprints-PROGRAM-Elkhart-Lake-WI-SCCA/162692340613?hash=item25e1381b85:g:FWEAAOSwqRRZz7Ki    or another one here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Road-America-1968-program-June-Sprints-15-16-and-entry-list/112728730282?hash=item1a3f27eaaa:g:tLoAAOSwz~pZ-7fI

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.
