Talk of recreating the Nordschleife in the desert outside Las Vegas! Would certainly be easier than a trip to Germany if it would come about, but where do they get the greenery?

They may be able to construct the track. They might even be able to make it look just like the one in Germany. The only problem I can see is they would NEVER be able to let people use it the way they do in Germany. I can see a situation like "Rent-a-Racer" but letting people drive their own cars on the track? Without a helmet, training or racing experience? It would be fantastic but I don't think it would work here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
