RE: Race track of Eureka
well it definitely exists. my father does remember taking me there in the 80's to do some ue'ing. it was not in use at that time. out rockhouse road there is a road that branches off and leads to berryville. we remember it as the old berryville stagecoach trail or road. there are a couple of very old creaky suspension bridges on it (very cool in their own right ). anyways it is right near the intersection of this road and rockhouse. ill try and figure out the name of the road.

RE: Race track of Eureka
I went to the races at this track several times as a kid.
The track was located just off highway 62 west. You turn left (if you're traveling west) a couple of miles before the eureka city limits. I'm not sure what the road is called, but it used to be a flea market several years ago, after it was shut down as a race track. it's less than a mile from highway 62. I think there's a church right where you turn off of 62 to get to it now. I'm not sure if there's anything left of the track but i
can pinpoint the location with a drive over there.

Re: RE: Race track of Eureka
Are these bridges still there? I'd love to see pictures. Are they true suspension bridges? There are several rickety suspension bridges in Miller County, MO that are terrifying to drive across.downhil wrote:well it definitely exists. my father does remember taking me there in the 80's to do some ue'ing. it was not in use at that time. out rockhouse road there is a road that branches off and leads to berryville. we remember it as the old berryville stagecoach trail or road. there are a couple of very old creaky suspension bridges on it (very cool in their own right ). anyways it is right near the intersection of this road and rockhouse. ill try and figure out the name of the road.
