It'd be lovely but it's never going to happen.
That new track in Tennessee doesn't look half bad, to be honest.

Re: New track in the USA
About the same as the drop into Mansfield from the Gooseneck, but a longer distance, if that makes sense, but it's 25 years since I've been there and only a couple since I've been to Cadwell, so I could be wrong.
