We used to have a racetrack at the fairgrounds which hosted the Firecracker 200 or something like that back in the 70's. It was ok, but I also remember high speed go-carts racing that track and I think I liked it better than the cars. Attendance was typical for Shreveport. I'd say about 5,000 back then.
