ERA if I remember right, it was a 100' circle. TRC actually had this painted on their test track. Don't ever recall the term centripetal, but never took physics either. (Just now took elementary 101 Physics on centripetal!) I know I was whipped running in and out of the test area every time Roger stopped, taking four temp readings on both out side tires as quick as I could.

I would have loved to had taken pictures or even a video but cameras of any kind were taboo at TRC. Especially on the track! (This track was and as far as I know still is used by all the manufacturers, even for their experimental cars.)

Driving through Marysville to Col's on Rt. 33 you will see a miles long very tall bank out in the middle of nowhere. This bank makes up the famous massive degreed banked track. I was told at this banked section of the track, if you tried to park a car on it and put it in park and walked away the car would slide down sideways on its own to the bottom of the track.

*A side note, when ever this part of the track is in use they have at least a dozen spotters along the track to warn of DEER!
