This track was converted from NR2003 and Raybee1970 had obtained permission from the original developers to be a track that could be converted to Heat. Thanks to those guys, and from the NR2003 track readme:
Version done by Omodified and Riviera71
Special Thanks goes out to...
PWF, David Noonan, and Papyrus for some of the original 3do's we used for this track.
Denis Rioux: 70's haulers
Beta Testers: BigEvil1290, Freew67, J.R., SteveB, Vader


I haven't done an Oval prior, thought I would give one of these a try as a change of pace from the RC's, and contribute to the Heat Oval collection. Each track has their own unique set of issues, and my first Oval was no exception. Hopefully the Oval guys will get some use out of this one.


The Heat track has basically been rebuilt for Heat, portions of infield rebuilt, much retexturing throughout the model, with many additions/goodies for the Heat version.

There are 28 working pit stalls. The Sky Dome has been integrated into the final version and gives the feeling of "movement" ingame, and eliminates the repetitive nature of the scheme used in the original Heat method.

Much information is available online for the history and current status of: Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway.

Special thanks to:
DaveO: for the setup, GCF, and extensive support, testing, and detailed feedback during the development.

Hey Chuck,

It was a pleasure helping you on out on this track, and you did an amazing job with this being your first oval job. Heck imho, you couldn't even tell that it was your first oval track. :)Your a master track builder, the oval guys should be very happy that you decided to dive in and give them some tracks also.

You have been great to us here at Speedsims with giving us so many new challenging Road Course tracks over the years. Your hard work is so much appreciated!! Thanks so much for what you do for all of us.

As I said over at The Mod Squad... thank you so much, smoke, for doing up an oval for us. I appreciate all the hard work that went into this one, and hope you consider more of them in the future.

For the road course guys here.... this is a very good track for some to learn braking points with, learning how and where to brake and accelerate out of the turns... and learning how to hold your line as well.

Great little fun place to race at. This is one of the historic short tracks that NASCAR used to race at way back in the day. I think even the road course fans will like these types of tracks for learning stuff from to carry over to road course racing.

I hope everyone likes it... as I know I surely do. ;D
