Everyone who has ever entered Lake Hill Speedway (legally) has come through "the tunnel" Now that famous tunnel is a primary scene in the FBI drama and Feature Film "Casualties of the State." There is also a St. Louis actor co starring in the movie, with lifetime ties to the old race track...

I saw Kim yesterday. He is busy doing all the thing he has put off for the last 4-5 months. I think some of the questions can only be answered by him. An actual plan does have to be put together in detail to attract any other investors or to get the support of the current ownership. My...

They won't approve anything in there without the bridge and emergency exit. Those problems Kim believes he has solved. It's the NOISE factor. Even with mufflers and we don't have data on it yet. 60 decibles are what is allowed. What has to be determined is... 60 decibles from where? And do...

See there. Now all we need is enough stock holders just like you. And a few rich uncles. (or brother-in-laws)

The track can be drained at any time by breaking the pipe that holds the sump pump to release the water. We excavated the other end of the free flow drain pipe behind turn three during cleanup but were told by the guy cleaning the muck out of the infield that he wanted us to leave the water in...

Hmmm....I thought Habe was the '54 Champion at Lake Hill.

If you missed out on the reunion you can still order a Historic souvenir program (36 pages). Or you can get a dvd from the St. Louis racing fan club and Lake Hill t-shirts and sweatshirts as well.

It is just great the way everything turned out Saturday. To have so many related/unrelated people get such a thrill out of the reunion is just awsome. Kim said that he knew how to throw a pretty good party but he had never seen one like this one was. This one was special. This one has a life...

10-4 this wasn't a college basketball game where you snatch the net! Or a concert where you take a paper poster home. That banner wasn't meant to be a trophy for an excited fan. A lot of extra effort went in to making this a wonderful experience for one and all. If you see it at a friends...

Lake Hill Speedway Historic Souvenir Programs etc. I have had a few inquiries about where to purchase additional souvenir programs for those who could not attend. I forgot to list it in the program. ($5.00 plus s/h) For now, just email me at davidrmueller@gmail.com or call me at 314-614-3038 I...

Wow! What a day. What a place. Our very own Field of Dreams and just like in the movie...we built it and they came. Again and again all day long. Now what? Now... we find a way to make Lake Hill the party center of St. Louis again that it once was. We have a window of opportunity that comes...

Cart7 said, "Wish I could go to your reunion, but I'm locked into Kansas City this weekend. Fess up, gang, you're not going to all this work for one day. I can see lots of cleanup for one day, but actually rebuilding structures? I think (hope) someone has another agenda. Maybe it's kind of...

here are a few more pics. I will be putting up the ticket sign tomorrow. this doesn't tell it all but anyone wondering if it's worth coming to... ought to see that we're serious. Lake Hill Speedway....BE THERE! And bring a chair. We couldn't rebuild everything :)

Here is a map with the directions to Lake Hill. What has happened there in the last week is unbelievable. People showed up to help that we didn't even ask. Krupp dumped twenty tons of asphalt on the track and filled in all the holes from the trees we pulled out. The track has been swept by KEG...
