Second Creek Raceway

Second Creek Raceway was a racetrack near 88th & Buckley.  It was shut down about 2005 but the track is still driveable, as shown by the above video.

I don't know why it was shut.  The whole area around it is just empty fields.  Yes to the north there are some housing developments, but to the west is the Arsenal, to the east about 5 miles is DIA (but there is nothing but empty fields in between), and to the south (again about 5 miles) there is nothing until you get past Green Valley Ranch Rd (48th Avenue).

This has to be one of the most desolate places anywhere that is actually within city limits (in this case I think it is Commerce City), and has major traffic running nearby - E-470 and Tower Road.
