Can anyone tell me the track dimensions for Indiana downs?

Specifically, size of both dirt and turf ovals and the length of the stretch.

Looks like a symmetric 1 mile with 7F turf on the inside assuming this is to scale?

And I have 980 feet from a piece of paper, the source of which I wish I could cite but (sorry) I can't identify it. It does credit the DRF for the info in a foot note.

I posted this in a thread on Track Circumfrence some time ago. As I remember, the straightaway distance of 980 feet came from Indiana downs itself, as that was one of the ones not listed in the DRF.
