Zoom in & you can see the motorcycles on the track.        Technology   :err:    Could this be CCS??

So I see a guy on the front straight coming up on the Start/Finish line....

Would that be the D-Dog half a track in the lead in F40???

Or K3 bringing up the rear - WAY off the pace ? :kicknuts:

i work homestead quite a bit, i dont see any of our ccs cornorworker cars anywhere.  so i would say no. could be a riders school though.  also, if u look at the grandstands at s/f they are all yellow seats.  after hurricane wilma came through in 05 they had to replace some of the seats due to damage. so thats an old pic.

Yeah, no canopies or anything really.

I know I did Google Earth on Daytona, and it's view was of Daytona as they were ripping out through NASCAR 1 for the new tunnel.  I suppose the DOD won't allow real current satelite pics.

i play around on google earth quite a bit and check out the tracks. if you check out barber, they are in the middle of building the controle tower building in the front straight. pretty cool though.
