I am trying very hard to get equal coverage for Maine on my website. However, I don't have much access to information on many of the photos I obtain, so there may be errors such as the wrong track involved - and there may be more unidentified drivers than i would prefer. I am doing everything I can to give the Pine Tree State a fair shake. If you see errors or you can help with who someone is please let me know at wladabou@comcast.net.     Thanks.

Unity, Maine


Dan Ayotte Photo

This photo really captures the essence of what is Unity Raceway since its inception.



Historic Aerials.Com

This recent aerial view of the Unity Raceway layout is not much like it was in 1956 [below]. Early drivers
competed on a sort of tri - oval track. Early photos show houses, across the street from part of the track,
getting a good view and a whole lot of dust. I cannot tell where these houses would be from the 1956 aerial view.
