You have to zoom in and look to the north east of the page. I don't know how old this image is or what changes have happened to the weapons station in the past five years or so.
Here's a possibly better link: http://maps.google.com/?t=h&ll=32.997003,-79.967186&spn=0.013191,0.020127
Looks pretty damn good, but what are the odds that anyone could even get on there, much less race?
It does Exist. one of the guys was talking to me about this. {clay} he told me it was the border patrols track. however they woont let anyone ride on it.
Seems to have pretty good run-off room.

don't tell anyone, but there has been a bike on there before (we shoot at the range, just anothe 1/2 mile beyond that. kind of narrow, but no complaints(not like i could run it hard). from what little knowledge i've aquired over the past few months, would be a fast, hard on the brakes kind of course. it was owned by border patrol, but homeland security now owns it. they also have a wet course, looks fun. they turn the sprinklers on and at some points have up to 4" of water on the road. slip and slide on the govt's dime.

strolled by there wednesday, they were on it, so no pics. they've resurfaced it within the last year(now the asphalt is raised a good inch from the shoulder), new paint lines.
