By the way, Google Earth uses ancient USGS topographic maps for its elevation measurements. Those figures often predate any construction on the site so the numbers, (like Atlanta rising ten feet at the 330' mark...LMAO!), are pretty unreliable. Use survey charts for more accurate reference.
Let's hope that's the case Bret. Otherwise Pomona is not a LEGAL track. At one percent it can be no more than 13.2 feet, and it shows 19 feet. What's the survey chart show?
