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

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