The proving grounds opened June 14th, 1928. At least on exhibition race was run here and Leon Duray ran a 148.17 mph lap here in a supercharged, FWD Miller Indianapolis car.

The property was purchased by Ford after Packard went out of business. It now appears to be used for a variety of things, but the oval is still visible. The Google Map overlay suggests some streets have been built or are planned for the interior of the track.
