Pretty sure there’s a road course at the same location as the oval in Connecticut.

In reply to BlueInGreen - Jon (Forum Supporter) :

Thompson (CT), I believe, had the first dedicated road course in the country. It fell into disrepair, but they continued oval racing there for many, many years. Within the past few years, they have rebuilt the road course. I haven't been back since then, but the Porsche Club, among others, has been holding events there.

Connecticut is not very big, but it's a total PITA to get to Thompson from where I live.

Actully it is The one and only XB-15 it is much larger than the 299 or B-17. It shares a wing with the boring 314 clipper. The wing is so large and it has tunnels that allow access to the engines in flight.

I love the PanAm Clippers and have a few photos in the mancave...they were anything but boring.  ; )

That MGA looks very familiar. I'm pretty sure I built that car. The owner was Bob Shoeplein (sp?).

Back in the fifties, the USAF tried doing this:

With these (with nukes), and were semi-successful:

Structurally, a B-47 is a bit different than an F-86. A lot of wings tore off.
