Cool, I live 30 miles from Donegal. I will take a further look.
Thats still pretty cool!

And it's not exactly straight line. Every time I drove thru that tunnel it had a slight bend in it

But it's a left hand turn, so it works for Chip Ganassi.

i recall reading a while back that Ganassi not only tests the NASCAR racers there, but also all of his other teams (Indy car, road racers, etc.) and there has even been a few F1 teams doing some testing there.

Pretty damned smart I'd say. Could also be used as a real life engine dyno. Time the car from point to point and you could see how the whole drive train works and what improvements work.
