    Rolo is correct with the name, Rio Hato, but that is an abandoned airfileld with two landing strips. On November 12, 2006, will be the last race since the resorts around the area have been granted the use of the airport for what it was really meant. Rio Hato was horrible to begin with (surface and infrastructure wise), but at least it let the racers get their adrenalin out.

    There was a major race track being constructed near Cerro Campana, but one of the promoters was a money launderer and got caught. The government has taken over his assets (including the halfway done track) and frozen them.

    Long story short: we had no tracks to really begin, and after a few weeks, nowhere to race for the forseeable future.
