WTF is this? Dirt racing track?

This is right behind one of the buildings here at work. I never knew it existed until I was playing around with MS Virtual Earth. Anyone wanna check it out? :wink:

Apologies for the link... you'll need to zoom out a bit, for some reason it won't let me link a better view.

It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

Judging by the size of that white car in the link, you could get a car in there. Now all we need is someone with a crappy small hatchback that we could share...
