Christmas Cruise - Olympia Race Track

These pictures are of the race track at Olympia. Everything has pretty much deteriorated away after several earthquakes and several thousand years but the original starting/finish line is still there. Rather than racing in a circle like they do today, they ran back and forth between two lines. All of the mondern 40 meter, 100 meter, 200 meter, etc. races originated with this.
