Detail: The world's oldest continually operated greyhound track started when T.L. Weaver, a lumber entrepreneur, sold one pine tract to a group of local businessmen who constructed a greyhound track in the 1920s. Unable to pay their debt, they gave the track to the Weaver family. In the early years, the track hosted stock car races and an exhibition football game featuring Jim Thorpe. Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Dizzy Dean were regulars during Spring Training.
