When the Beverly Hills board track bite the dust amid raising property
values the Champ Car scene moved to this new board track about five
miles south in Culver City that was built to replace it. As Los Angeles
grew though history quickly repeated itself, the Beverly Hills track
lasted just under four years and this new track in Culver City wouldn't
even make it to its third anniversary but land here too also grew too
valuable and it was torn down. The land was redeveloped for housing use
with some repurposed as a public park, the first in Culver City.

The property where this track was built had some racing pedigree, before
the construction of the speedway it was home to a failed horse racing
track. Culver City, already gaining a reputation as being home to many
movie studios, was selected as the site of this track in part due to
easy access from several Los Angeles street car lines.
