Ah the Pavillion, quite a place for indoor racing indeed before they removed the nice smooth curved walls below the stands.

Indoor Midget Races and Motorcycle Races on Coke Syrup.  Once I used VHT Track Bite cut with methanol sprayed on the polished concrete when we ran the bikes and quads in there.  Quarter Midgets got some super bite on that track.  There is a photo I saw of Curley Sutton in the early 1960s racing his Matchless G-50 indoors at the Pavillion.  

Pavillion hosted a few Monster Truck Mud Bogs and Charlie Orr jumped over a running helicopter during one of those shows.   Tractor Pulls also indors.  Wonder what the dB meter read when they fired up those two Blown Injected 500 Cu In engines burning methanol in there. LOL

Those were the grand old days!  

The Pavillion also hosted a number of killer concerts, many of which I attended.
