Looks like it could have been fun.

It would've been spectacular running up into the hill off the end of the front straight.

Depending upon the time of year, you can kind of make out where those missing turns were at the base of the mountain. It's obvious that trees were removed at some point, long ago.
 

I've always wanted to hike through there someday and take a closer look at what's still there. 

The Apalachian Trail is up on that hill off Turn 1.

I wonder though, if the locals can implement sound restrictions and no racing on Sunday, how would it be with that hill side acting as a big speaker?

You can still see remnants of this in the hills:

Thanks folks, for posting the video and the pages from the book.  I had no idea that it almost had a mountain section.  How cool would that have been!
