Snake River Speedway (abandoned)

Snake River Speedway (abandoned)


Blackfoot, Idaho (ID), US
This multi-track motorsports facility never quite materialized after years of slow construction progress, apparently a victim of the downturn in the economy.

Their former web site, snakeriverspeedway.com, can be seen on web.archive.org (see more info link below). From 2001-10, the site described plans for a 3/8 mile banked D-shaped circle track, 1/4 mile drag strip, RV park, a motocross track, convenience store with gas station, and concession stands.

Other than a few motocross and mud bog races, I haven't found any proof that the business held a regular program of motorsports. Google's Street View shows an abandoned or, at best, a neglected piece of land.

Feel free to leave a comment below if you can shed some light on the story of this project.

Thanks for the pix. Do you or any of your readers know what that "spider web" design is on the north edge of Test Area North?
