| Paramount
Ranch Racetrack
was only used for about two years. After one of the drivers
was killed in a crash the track was closed in 1957.. The
old race course
is still visible at Paramount Ranch with a couple of sections
still being paved.
The racetrack was a two mile figure eight course with
a bridge between turns 3 and 4. Pictured above is turn
6. The racetrack pits and grandstand were located on the
current parking lot.
The Devil's Hairpin motive starring Cornel Wilde and Jean
Wallace was filmed at Paramount Ranch
Racetrack in
1957. |
