Track 9: Coast Down and Drift/Pull Evaluation

Overview
Track 9 is so long and straight that it contains large “X’s” painted on each end so that airplane pilots don’t confuse it for a runway. With a 4800 foot straightaway that is extremely flat from both end-to-end and side-to-side, it is ideal for drift/pull evaluation, as well as coast down testing. There is also an onsite building with a garage and conference room.
