Been there. There is nothing left of it.

I want to head down there sometime so I can write an obit about it. That's where the President's Cup Nationals began.

I plan to go by there in the coming weeks, but I'm not sure who to contact to seek permission. I'm working on that now, though.

I'd also like to head down to Marlboro Speedway one day, but that'll be for a day I'm in D.C.

What might there be to see? Looking at the website, the most it ever was was a strip of pavement, bleachers, an announcer's box, and a lot of dirt.

The housing area is mostly abandoned with many houses just sitting there. Its all very very cool.

Is it being cleaned up ? or left abandoned

is there any scrounging ........ I saw on the History Channel - like 2 weeks ago, there is a Federal Evac Center / Command Center on the old Lorton Prison Grounds in the basement of one of the buildings ........ still stuck in the 60's

where better to find a Federal C3 site then under DC's Lorton Prison .......

Is that the place you were telling me about maybe, Bronwyn?

Nope...but eh, doesn't seem to be anything left they say. There's quite a few abandoned hospitals around here...anyone been around to any of those?

Sounds similar, but it isn't an AF Base.

Well, she mentioned that it was an AF base, and Fort Ritchie isn't, so it must be a different place.

You seems to really like exploring old hospitals/Mental facilities... would you say that they are your favorite kind of place or is there somewhere better you would enjoy?
