Thread Of Positive Awesomeness

This is located about ten miles or so from my house. It's very cool but feels rather eerie when you're nearby.

 

Quite literally?

 

@BS1948, we actually have some tracks of different sorts here in Tucson. Here are a some photos--one of the car/motorcycle/kart track (Musselman Honda Circuit), one of the drag strip (Tucson Dragway), and one of the horse track (Rillito Park). The Rillito Park horse track is literally a 3 minute walk from our back gate. Sadly, all are closed currently due to COVID.

 

It is actually useful as it is. Many of the aircraft can be made airworthy in a matter of days. Those that can't are used for ABDR (Aircraft Battle Damage Repair) training. Been there myself years ago for that training. They do chop some of them up, as well, and send away to the scrapyard. That's fun to watch as they drop a giant blade with a crane that literally chops them up. But, I agree, a motocross and road race course would be great.

 

If you've got good aftermarket pipes on your bike, that would be awesome!

 

I didn't but it was still awesome

Was based at DM a few times, the Bone yard is an impressive sight you also have the Pima air museum near by

 

They converted a lot of the old fighter types into drones made good target practice

 

You would be pissed if you took the wrong one

 

That's a clever use of space, or, an accident waiting to happen.

 

That would be so cool to have a track day so close.

 

Yep. In fact, I may look into taking my Mustang out there when the tracks around here reopen.
