Yes, it was.
It was originally known as
Bryar Motorsports Park. I'd raced there twice before Bahre transformed it—then twice-again afterwards.
The road course is tight and there are highly desired "elevation-changes".
One fast turn has the narrow end of a "Jersey Barrier" sticking out!
To reduce the unnerving effect on drivers, the exposed end was painted black.
There were minor defects in the oval to which were accredited tragic crashes at high speeds; fortunately, the road course used only the "good" part of the oval.
There are probably other car clubs (other than BMW) that teach high speed car control—including a "Street Survival" Course—designed especially for teens. You can bring your Jeep.
