    Well, since we all know what it is, and nobody wants to seem "greedy", I'll mark it for everyone. Daytona International Speedway

    Field's open since I am working today.

    Ah, Circuit Park Zandvoort near Amsterdam
    http://maps.google.com/maps?t=k&q=52.3...p;z=15&om=1

    Let me find something to challenge Hyo Silver.

    Well, maybe this one is simple (at least after you know the answer?)

    Well I didn't know it when I posted it, but there is a relationship with the previous post and an earlier recent post. If I say anymore I will give it away, or maybe I already did!

    Bonus question: Answer the above riddle!

    I didn't think you needed a private detective to solve this one, but if you do, leave your message after the beep.

    Hey, Toups. Looks like Watkin's Glen to me. I would have answered earlier, but I've been away from the computer for a while. Go ahead and try again. :)

    OK, I'll try again.
    Whoops previously posted, give me a second. :huh:

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Toups @ Nov 24 2007, 05:58 PM) [snapback]543686[/snapback]</div>
    Alright here goes.

    [attachmentid=12602]

    P.S. Did you find the connection between Circuit Park Zandvoort, Watkin's Glen and a previous very recent post?

    Good one! I haven't seen this circuit in many years.
    [attachmentid=12603]

    P.S. No. You're thinking of Daytona as the previous post, right? Does Zandvoort have endurance racing too? A Fittipaldi has raced on all three circuits? Do they all have nude beaches nearby? :D

    Have we done stadiums yet? :) I think I remember a couple, but I haven't looked at the 'done' list for some time.

    Looks like the field is longer than 100 yds. Must be Canadian.

    Well if they do, that wasn't what I was thinking. You need to watch Airportkid's DVD carefully!

    I didn't think that would be very difficult, given the clues in the picture. This is the home of my beloved Saskatchewan Roughriders, playing in tomorrow's Grey Cup. Go Riders!
