Dennis Wilson Film Location On Its Way Out

EDMUNDS INSIDELINE "The long derelict Lakeland International Raceway just northeast of Memphis, Tennessee, one of racing's great ghosts, is on the verge of complete extinction."

"Lakeland's most enduring fame comes from its appearance in the 1971 motorhead/existentialist classic 'Two-Lane Blacktop.' The track was among the most vivid stops for James Taylor's 'Driver,' Dennis Wilson's 'Mechanic' and their wicked '55 Chevy during their transcontinental odyssey. It's not only that their '55 raced there, but that various other classic race vehicles were on display at the time as well."
