OT : Just a little daydreaming, where could we build a 'Ring in the US Options

[carambola]

just as the title said, where could we (being American of any sort) build our own Nurburgring. i'm almost thinking the hilly country just off the plains of colorado or tennesse or kentucky.

Honestly this could work. Lets face it, there is some part of Eastern Oregon, Southern Idaho, North Nevada, All of Utah, all of Wyoming, some of Colorado, and certainly in Texas that ain't worth doing anything else with.

i've never been to any of those places, but in a country this big, it shouldn't be a problem to find a few square miles of unmolested countryside with nice elevation changes and woods and occassional rain and snow ...

the ring is one of the most challanging race tracks in the world, simply because of it's length and the "micro-climates" along the way.
the "old ring" even more so. you can start in sunshine, go through a downpour, hit some black ice and be back in sunshine, all within one lap ...

plus, there are *plenty* of trees to hit ...
