Race track web sites

Post by grimes34 »

Is it Me or what? how come I can never seem to find the"actual address" of a race track on there web sites, They only give clues, like 20 miles north of Blah Blah, How about a Freeken address!

They'll USUALLY have it under "contact us", but be careful... I map-quested a paintball field once from an address I got of their website and wound up in front of the owners house 30 miles away (it was the "mailing" address. If you get the address check it on mapquest, google earth, etc to see if there's really a track there (BTW Bridgehampton is closed)

It's not you. I know for a fact that there's a certain circle-track in your neck of the woods (exit 73) that doesn't list their mailing address on any promotional material. The reason is because they don't have an on-site office or mailbox, and don't want people to send correspondences to the "track" address and never receive them. In this particular example, their business office is about 50 miles away from the track.

The best tool for finding something big like a race track that you only know the rough location of are the aerial photos/maps provided by Yahoo and Google. Took me all of 5 minutes to locate Bridgehampton, Lime Rock, Pocono, and Watkins Glen...all without the use of a street address or any other knowledge other than what town they were near:

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UT ... 5&t=h&z=16

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UT ... 7&t=h&z=17

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UT ... 5&t=h&z=16

http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UT ... 5&t=h&z=16

I was going to post a link to Thunderbolt, but apparently their office and mailing address is located in town, and Google's images are so old that they don't show the track where the airport used to be.....
