Abandoned Southeast Middle Georgia Raceway
is in Georgia.

Less than two months before the second race, on September 23, 1967, federal agents discovered a moonshine distillery in an underground bunker next to the track at turn three. The local newspaper described it as an elaborate, sophisticated operation with two fermenting tanks totaling 3,700 gallons. The distillery produced 80 gallons of moonshine per day. A trap door inside a ticket booth led 17 feet underground to a cave where the distillery was kept. The owner at the time, Lamar Brown Jr., was arrested after the discovery. The moonshine distillery had an electric exhaust system, electric lighting, and electronic insect-repellant devices. Federal agents found out about it after a hunter smelled fumes and tipped off the authorities. Agents would typically have blown it up with dynamite but instead used acetylene torches to destroy it so the racetrack would not be damaged.
