Google Earth - Race Track Locations

Ok, I've locate several track on Google Earth, mostly on the East coast. Just for fun Basically, but also to have a quick idea of what track I could go to next summer. Here's what I have so far. I you want to had one, just post the track info and I'll update the file. It's quite fun for driving direction as well.

Re: Google Earth - Race Track Locations

Added Hastings (TornadoBait, after you go could you try to more precisely place this), moved Jennings to over the track since Google increased resolution enough to see it, and alphabetized the track list
