I was at Cayuga this summer on a test and tune day. The track is all new and I understand it is 4400' long. A new tower was going up as well. It's probably the first real money spent on the track in 30 years.
The Georgetown track was where Dick Harrell got killed in a terrible accident in '71. The track was shut down many years ago.
I think you will find that Kalitta Flying Services grew a little since the old days.
