Also weird how only the iconic photo and one other one got archived in the crawl.

Address of the place is 807 Oregon Street or 811 Oregon Street. City is likely Oshkosh, Wisconsin or Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Sad thing is that this place is probably not there anymore.

Place is called HobbyTown USA Revolution Raceway, and it still exists!
Don't harass them though, they recently lost a friend.

The image properties.
Crazy to think that they took this over 2 decades ago with no idea that it was going to become such a phenomenon all these years later.

Oshkosh, WI is the confirmed location.

Also 807 is definitely the building number.
