In 1981, new owner, Dick Moroso, of Moroso Racing Parts fame bought the track and renamed it to Moroso Motorsports Park. In 1982, the track saw it’ next major upgrade in order to host the SCCA Trans-Am Series. Under the Moroso name, the track saw National and Regional SCCA races, and IHRA and NHRA Special Events including the “Super Chevy Show.” Sadly, in 1998, Dick Moroso lost his life to brain cancer, but the family was able to keep the facility going. After his death, MTV used the facility for a drag racing documentary in 2002 and Speed Channel’s “Pinks” held an episode there in 2007.
