I remember this race track very fondly, because it is the locus of my initial high-performance driving training, and several subsequent courses. As a young buck out of college, my Gov sent me up there to do all manner of things related to driving cars and killing/avoiding terrorists. We shot out of moving vehicles, rammed burring roadblocks, executed high speed motorcades on the track, did "PIT" maneuvers (which we called "tactical ramming") - ah it was such a fun time. Weekends we would see the motorcycle racers out there - looked rather civilized compared to the stuff we were doing.
Anyway - enjoy the link.
