Verification Notes
- The former track’s opening/closing dates, exact site boundaries, race calendar, and local-pro identity require corroboration.
- Machine-rendered names such as Rick Rusky, Poplar Neck, and other locations should be checked against period sources and audio.
Open source gaps
- Dates, names, track locations, and race details are preserved as John Stancliff’s recollection unless independently verified.
- The corrected transcript normalizes obvious place and brand names while retaining unresolved names as uncertain.
