Look in the background for the old autoracks with screens that had no roofs.

close... you'd be lucky if you were allowed to watch from the tower!

Green street runs along the south side of the property, Sadly, most of what is shown here is gone.

Those are air-operated retarders which squeeze the wheels to slow the car. They are controlled from the tower.
