MID-AMERICA

Mid America Raceways was originally a 1200' dragstrip located near Wentzville, Missouri. The facility also featured a 2.89 mile course which passed out of service quite some time before the dragstrip shut down. The road course was highly regarded, with varying elevation changes, a very long straight, and ten corners, 7 right and 3 left turns. There were 11 flag stations, #11 being on the straight after the drive over bridge near the end of the dragstrip. The dragstrip also had its run-off area downhill, so there was a strong need for good brakes. At one point Mid-America hosted SCCA races, motorcycle races, drag races, and a slew of other motorsports events. Use of the road course reportedly came to a halt in the mid-'80s
