Built by the great Egyptologist Mr Woods from plans he discovered in the Great Pyramids, the original Woods' Hole was a memorial to his son who during the Great War accidentally drove his tank into a very deep hole where he and his crew tragically starved to death despite repeatedly trying to climb out.
Money trouble hit during the Great Depression and Mr Woods, ruined by the Great Crash, did away with himself by digging a very deep hole of his own into which he subsequently threw himself.
The Second Great War, two Great Fires (and a third Great Fire though generally not thought so Great as the other two), a Great Plague of Locusts, a Great Pestilence and another Fire (not Great at all) effectively destroyed the track and it lay in ruins for almost (but not quite) twenty years until Mr Woods' grandson and only surviving descendant rebuilt it only to have it burn down again.
The Great Rebuilding of 1971 saw the circuit open once more. This time it was hoped that by not using quite so much creosote-soaked timber in the track's construction it might this time stay in one piece long enough to actually stage a race.
Known as "The Hole", the track is popular with drivers and small woodland creatures alike although its combination of tight corners and steep elevations, steep corners and tight elevations make it a stern test of man and machine. But without them it wouldn't be the whole Woods' Hole wood it?
But on a slightly more serious note, the track length is 1.46 miles or 2329 metres and it has ten turns. Trees densely surround the course with a fairground situated close to the track at one point. A Ferris wheel can clearly be seen. Particular points on the track are Turn 10, a high speed banked 180 degree turn and Turn 8, a reverse camber steep blind downhill turn. Both will test the driver's skill to the limit.
