Charlie Richardson asked me if I recognized this track from the photos someone took in 1965. I didn't, but the oval-esqe shape around the lake suggested the old Bryar back that was replaced by the modern NHIS. Ted Goddard, an old hand in NER SCCA who ran the track for many years, confirmed this and supplied some captions.
