last time I drove through the moraine valleys in the fog on 80 there were
big rigs scattered all over the road!



I DRIVE one of those big rigs.  Yesterday someone lost it on a perfectly
flat stretch of I-380 south of town, SPUN the rig around and dropped it
sideways in the slow lane.  PERFECTLY straight, no jacknife!



the 1/2 mile track is a bit small. I think Indy or Daytona would be
perfect!



The Newton track might be good then, I think it is a 3/4 or 1 mile track but
am not absolutely sure.  a FLAT piece of rural road would be best.  I will
check and see if there might be something. I, and my co-workers travel
around quite a lot .  southern Illinois is also VERY flat, or possibly there
might be a chance of using an airport?  Not 4 miles long, but they are sure
flat!


If a straight roadway is needed, there are any number of STRAIGHT roads in

"IHPVA rule for speed records states that the slope of the entire course
must not be more the 2/3 percent downhill overall "

4 miles seems a bit long for me, but then I haven't gone 80MPH either!
