And now I'm within a few minutes of this place:
Anyone around here frequent Palm Beach International? I kind of want to check it out, but I'm not sure what events to watch for. Any big names test here?

That stuff is for airplane ground stability testing.

Yeah, there's a strip, a track and the kart track. A few Karts for sale on CL too...

It's super cool. Used to go up all the time in college. Mostly just test-and-tune type stuff, but we did go up once when they filmed an episode of Pinks All Out. Good times. Fun little track. I think they also do some big-league drag racing stuff there, which is always entertaining.

I wish, although my lowly mode of transportation is hardly the type of vehicle that belongs on a track.
It gets rented out fairly often, so I may have to just show up sometime and see if something is running.

The drag racing pre-season testing in late January is a must-attend.

For some reason, I just went "cool, you moved to Suzuka."
I just went full-on-derp

First think I noticed about the location. Looks like a Island in the middle of alligator land. Bet there is some kind of interesting story about how they built it.

IIRC some IndyCar teams test there in the winter.

I wonder if the Stig's American cousin still lives around there?
