Site of the Ideal Race Track
milwhcky (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: milwhcky.
A one mile track was built in 1896 by railroad and beer companies for horse racing. A special rail stop with a large platform allowed people from Chicago and Milwaukee easy access to the track.
After hearing from local opposition to the track, Wisconsin made wagering on horses illegal. Because the Illinois state line is mere yards beyond the south end of the track, the wagering was moved across the state line to work around the new law. Ultimately, the horse racing would come to an end by the turn of the century.
From 1913 through the 60's, the track was used for motorcycle and auto racing. In the 70's, it was used as a snowmobile test track by Johnson Motors.
Today, trees and brush are overgrown around the track surface and the infield has a farm field. The land is tabbed for future housing.
The above details were found in an August 2007 Kenosha News article, which is no longer available online.

Also, a trace of the secret of the "dark continent" can already be felt in the world of experience: lions dose in the midday sun and hyenas hunt through the high grass of the savannah.

McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet
The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F/A-18 Hornet is a modern all-weather carrier-capable strike fighter jet, designed to attack both ground and aerial targets. Designed in the 1970s for service with the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps, the Hornet is also used by the air forces of several other nations. It has been the aerial demonstration aircraft for the Blue Angels since 1986. Its primary missions are fighter escort, fleet air defense, suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD), interdiction, close air support and reconnaissance. Its versatility and reliability have proven it to be a valuable carrier asset, though it has been criticized for its lack of range and payload compared to its contemporaries. The Hornet has also been exported to several nations worldwide.

Lockheed S-3 Viking
The Lockheed S-3 Viking is a jet aircraft originally used by the United States Navy to identify, track, and destroy enemy submarines. In the late 1990's, the S-3B's mission focus shifted to surface warfare and aerial refueling. After the retirement of the A-6 Intruder and A-7 Corsair II, the Viking was the only airborne refueling platform organic to the Carrier Air Wing(s) until the fielding of the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. It also provides electronic warfare and surface surveillance capabilities to the carrier battle group. A carrier-based, subsonic, all-weather, multi-mission aircraft with long range, it operates primarily with carrier battle groups in anti-submarine warfare roles. It carries automated weapon systems, and is capable of extended missions with in-flight refueling. Because of the engines’ high-pitched sound, it is nicknamed the "Hoover" after the brand of vacuum cleaner.

Grumman A-6 Intruder
The A-6 Intruder is a twin-engine, mid-wing attack aircraft built by Grumman Aerospace. In service between 1963 and 1997, the Intruder was designed as a replacement for the piston-engined A-1 Skyraider. A specialized electronic warfare derivative, the EA-6B Prowler, remains in service as of 2007. As the A-6 was slated for retirement, its precision strike mission was taken over by the now retired F-14 Tomcat equipped with LANTIRN, which has subsequently passed on the role to the F/A-18 Hornet.

E-2 Hawkeye
The Grumman E-2 Hawkeye is an all-weather, aircraft carrier-based tactical Airborne Early Warning (AEW) aircraft nicknamed "Super Fudd" because it replaced "Willy Fudd", (the E-1 Tracer). In the present day, it is most commonly nicknamed the "Hummer" due to the distinctive sound of its twin turboprop engines.
