I have seen alligators at Moroso. I heard a story of an SCCA racer
ending up in the water there and the corner workers would not go in the
water to help him out because of the gators. They threw him a line and
winched the car and driver out. I don't know if the story was true or
not.

Little known fact is that Texas World Speedway has ALLIGATORS. I know
they
are there at one corner. I went off there twice and found viscious teeth
marks
on the undercarriage when I got back home in Iowa.
We know that Moroso has Alligators, but they usually stay in the pond.
