<br>
1) the original watkins glen course (1948 through<br>
the early 50s) ran on public roads that still exist.<br>
so it could be tagged in OSM. but maybe it should<br>
be in OHM instead? what do we do? it will never<br>
be raced on again.<br>
<br>
2) there are traces of old ovals in the form of<br>
city streets, one which is complete in San<br>
Francisco, and one which is only in part in<br>
Rhode Island. so these could be partially or<br>
completely tagged in OSM. again, what<br>
should best practice be? once more, these<br>
will never be race tracks again.<span class="im HOEnZb"><br>
