I stopped at Tinley Bowl today. The west lot, which I believe is where they run, is indeed a parking lot when they aren't using it for racing. The drivers stand and track boards are stacked outside behind the bowling center.
The surface is in pretty good shape, but does have seams and sewers, which might be covered by boards when the track is down. With a broom and blow-off is probably is a fine lot to run on, but you might want to bring all of your tuning/tire options to get traction because there is no "line" on the ground, and after Bubba gets done parking his 1978 Olds on it for Friday night leagues, it might have a little more oil and grease on it.
