Overview<\/h2>\n

Track 9 is so long and straight that it contains large “X\u2019s” painted on each end so that airplane pilots don\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n
