Holy heat soak batman. They couldn't find a place more closely emulating the climate of the original?

My thoughts Exactly. Time to start running liquid nitrogen!

The track/course could easily be built in about 2 years considering the Nevada climate.

I believe baby, I believe. I want to believe. I sorta believe. It would be nice. Gahh, forget it. It'll never happen: too expensive, too difficult, too much course support needed for a track day. Impossible.

I promise if it does happen that I'll drive there from Philly for opening day!

The problem is finding a place with a similar climate that has enough open space to accommodate the track without infringing on any neighbors. The open space isn't an issue with Nevada having the most of the lower 48 states. The desert climate would also make it easy on construction, but I wouldn't want to run my car out there during the summer.
