   Officially, it's called River's Edge Road Course at Mission Raceway,   
   but we all just call it Mission. It's built at a facility that used to   
   be just a drag race course.

   More like I'm just not getting it right every time and I'm not even   
   really sure where "right" is. It's a very wide track up to the corner   
   and much narrower after, so it doesn't have nice obvious sight lines.
