Any clue as to direction?
I think we were heading NE. Major interstate and I think I saw Lake Ray Hubbard shortly after.
Texas Motor Speedway?? ::Clown::

It was SWA flt 3310. This was the path. The site looked like it might be promising.
Was this it?

That's Grand Prairie Speedway, right next to Yello Belly Drag Strip.
RPM Raceway next to Dallas Raceway, 175 east of Crandall? https://maps.google.com/maps?ll=32.6...26157&t=h&z=16
None of those have a paved parking lot. I hope KenO wasn't using too many of his SWA drink coupons in-flight.

I also thought that maybe you were looking down at a mega-church. I mapped Lake Pointe Church (Rockwall) and they have large areas with only a few light poles.
That's all I could think of as far as "old lots" prior to the beautification efforts and codes.

Not any of the posted. It was a blacktop lot. looked clean. I tried to get snap a pix but was too slow.
Electronics should have been turned off anyway.Quote:

Maybe Devil's Bowl, but that asphalt looks pretty aged.
