Man Wants To Build Exact Copy Of Nürburgring… In Nevada

Since the greater Las Vegas area only has a copy of Paris, New York, Venice, and alien-occupied ancient Egypt, it's still a good ways away from having a copy of all of Earth's good stuff. Luckily, Bruton Smith, CEO of Speedway Motorsports, is working to fix that, starting with a copy of the Nürburgring.

In this interview on Sirius XM Sports, Smith reveals that he's been talking to "some Germans" about the possibility of creating an exact duplicate of the Nürburgring in Nevada, likely 10 or so miles away from the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Smith is very confident he can produce an exact replica, and has been talking to both the Governor and the Nevada Bureau of Land Management, who he's hoping will donate 8,000 acres of land for the project. And why wouldn't they? Nevada has plenty of open dirt without any Nürburgrings at all— this could take care of that situation.

The Nevada 'Ring wouldn't be used for racing, just test track use, though individuals as well as manufacturers could use it.

So what you're saying is that I could be a four hour drive from the Nürburgring, and then moments from $4.99 lobster and the loosest slots in town? Yes, please.

Awesome.

Good luck finding $4.99 lobster. Food was expensive as fuck when I was out there last spring. No cheap buffets either.

You don't need luck. You just need to know where to go. That goes for drinks too. Noobs.

Drinks were easy. I sat at a craps table and drank for free. I also don't really think 4.99 lobster sounds all that good anyways....

Dude when I used to go I would always stop at the showboat and get 1.99 all you can eat breakfast. The food deals are out there if you go to the right places.

But yeah man, cheap seafood is suspect!

Never been there..... I need to do that some day.
