    Nascar Testing

    I don't know if this is a repost, but I never knew about this tunnel.

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    More towards Somerset in the mountains. I believe, when the Turnpike was widened and straightened, some of the older tunnels were bypassed. They are tough to see in the summer, most are more able to be seen late fall/ winter.
