Jack Watts Jalopy Track, Mazeppa


The Jack Watts Jalopy track in Mazeppa was  was on the property of Mr Watts and was either a 1/4 or 1/3 mile, depending on who showed up to plow that day.


Found on a racetrack message board

A 2016 article in the Sunbury Daily Item mentions that track, and states:

"The last track in the area was Jack Watts Jalopy Track near the twin bridges in Mazeppa.  The track was either 1/4th or 1/3rd of a mile,depending on what was plowed out of the fields on race day.  Originally built on the side of the hill, it was relocated to a flatter area when a car rolled the length of the track down the hill."
