From what it says on the video it translates to "Hiroshima Speedway".

Why not after looking at it, it's just a cart track with a down hill strait added on.

You could easily to that with most of these ghetto useless ovals across the country lol.

Wall speedway looks like the perfect candidate for this lol

The last time I went (about two or three years ago), Vaughn Gittin, Jr. was there and he said that drift tracks in Japan weren't much bigger. Adam's Motorsports Park doesn't look that much wider, but since I haven't personally been there, I can't say for sure.

Adams problem isn't the width.... i feel its the layout it self.

Not very forgiving to drift cars. Allot of of Japanese kart tracks did allot of updates to make them more suitable for drifting.

yea kart tracks here wont go for drifting on there tracks anyway. idc how narrow it is. thats what makes it fun. but alot of track owners wouldn't even consider letting people slide on there tracks. prolly cuz they think it will ruin there track blah blah

There was a few events this year and last at this kart track. NOPI qualifier was held here too in March of 2008. It was a great track to run on.

Well I have driven on VIR's kart track and in most places its just a little more than two karts wide. Plus the way its setup would be pretty bad for cars.

Now I have drifted on Moroso's (Now PBIR) Kart track before and that was alot of fun but it was only a one time deal.
