I assume you're coming from Elliott. After you pass the light at (I think
it's First? it's the last light in any case) look at the cracks in the
pavement and you should be able to see where the track was in the middle
of the street. When you get to the end of the straight stretch you'll
notice where the track curved over and off the edge of the road and
there's a apron sloping down faster than the road off to your right.
