Nice background piece Steve, and nice track Lou! It's going to take me a
while to get that blind high-speed turn one down pat, and that "lightbulb"
turn goes on, and on, and on...  <grin>

I hope somebody decides to convert this to NR2003. (with Lou's permission of
course) I have neither the knowledge or the talent to attempt it <sigh>, but
it could be a real blast in a stockcar or Trans-Am.

AFAIK, a very famous track conversion guru is doing that very thing!  (The
Bridge will be AWESOME in a Cup car or a T/A.)
