We love us some sports here at YesButNoButYes. Hell, we even have friends who love sports and rub our noses in the fact that their knowledge and trivia of the genre is so vast that it makes us look like a three legged dog getting dragged through an obstacle course. And, it turns out, so do all of you, based on the number of responses we got to our last From the Air challenge. Never one to let a good thing die, we're exploiting this for everything we can. This time, instead of looking at satellite images of stadiums and arenas, we're going for the less traditional venues. Let's see if you can tell the venue and what takes place there.

10. Olympic Luge/Bobsled Track, Lake Placid, NY (1980 Winter Olympics)
I don't think 5 is Talladega. I've never been but i've driven by and it's much more remote than that. This pic is a track next to an airport it would appear, but I also don't watch enough NASCAR.
9. I'm going to guess that this might be a section of the Swiss Alps, the climbing portion of Le Tour de France?
Pure guess: 5. Daytona
It looks flat enough to be Florida.
9. Park City, UT ? 2002 Winter Olympics, wherever that was.
Sorry Farkin', not the climbing section of the Tour de France. Here's a hint... every one of these is in the US. W.I.A.N. got Daytona correct.

9.
10. Olympic Luge/Bobsled Track, Lake Placid, NY (1980 Winter Olympics)
Nope... not Park City.
Yeah, I think you're right. It's probably Daytona.
6. Looks like a surf spot. Mavericks? Does HI count as a US location as you specify or is it just the lower 48?
another stab at 9. Jackson Hole, WY
Nope... not Maverick's. And yes, Hawaii does count. Also, it isn't Jackson Hole.
6. Waimea
Waimea. Ah crap. WIAN has scurvy.
Close on 6. Really close. But still no.
Damn, tuned in too late to participate in this one.
Except to point out that Churchill Downs is in Louisville, not Lexington. Keeneland Race Course is in Lexington.
Pupukea?
In the words of TMNT: "Banzai!"
Tim, you get bonus points and Farkin', I 'll give it to you.

Continuing to throw darts at 9. Tahoe
Hmm...I'll try your technique. Let's try Aspen.
Close on Tahoe. This is an actual ski resort in the region.
Squaw Valley
