NIHONDAIRA SPEEDWAY
Description This Project was started by Akira Yamamoto on September 1970.
The track was designed by Shingo Shiozawa, chairman of Nihon Auto Club. Seating Capacity should be 15,000 spectators in the grandstands.
But, in 1971, Shizuoka university‘s students opposed the construction of the track suddenly. And then Shizuoka prefecture decided to ban the construction. The project canceled before the pavement and this location is 9 holes golf course now.

Due to technical problems, temporarily it’s no longer possible to see the circuits on Google Maps embedded in the current page.
This feature will be restored as soon as I figure out how to do (any help would be appreciated!)

See this track layout with Google Earth - milermeter.com
(milermeter.com can be used in your browser, without installing anything; Google Earth is a program that must be installed in your computer)
(Map shown here above can show at the same time all eventual layouts drawn. If you want to see only some of them, please go to Google Maps or Google Earth, by clicking on its own link)
