"...get the track..."? Have I missed something? Is there a new track in
the works?

Aah, the stuff of memories!  I occasionally find myself doing the same
thing....most recently with a pile of old (1960's - 1970's) Aussie
magazines.  Sitting cross-legged on the floor, oblivious to the passage of
time! :-)

I recall that "throttle cable" incident but cannot remember who the driver
was either.

That's how this thread started:

The thread about the new track has gone from my server but you should be
able to find it on dejanews I think. Check out
http://my.bawue.de/~matthead/solitude/solitude.html
for a track map. I didn't keep the url for the screenshots, I'm sure Bruce
will have it.
