Funny car driver Billy Meyer quit racing and built his own quarter mile track in the fields outside Ennis in 1986, paving the whole surface in concrete instead of asphalt. The National Hot Rod Association called it the first super track and every modern drag strip copied the format. The Texas FallNationals have run here each October since, with John Force, Kenny Bernstein and Tony Schumacher among the winners.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
