Hi,
So I've finally brought myself to release this track to the KRP community. It's still very raw, and there are some quirks and cosmetic issues I'll need to iron out. That being said, it's driveable, and as challenging as its real-life counterpart.
Oakland Valley Race Park (OVRP) is located in Cuddebackville, NY USA. It is one of the premier stops in the USA Northeast Rotax Max Challenge, and a favorite of kart racers all over the Northeastern United States. I do not recall which of the Andrettis famously said that if you learn to race there, you can race anywhere. Go to http://www.ovrp.net/ to learn more. Here's the link to the KRP track:

Again, the caveat is that it's still a work in progress - short-listed for immediate improvement are some of the bumpiness on the track surface itself, as well as improved buildings and pits. Long story short, I've been reading posts about how people should endeavor to make the effort to create tracks on their own, so I picked up the gauntlet, so to speak, and here's the result, so far. I'm a total newb at track building and 3ds Max, but I'd be nowhere, if it wasn't for the help of evolution-kart. This friend has been super helpful, and joint credit should go to him when the track is finally ready to be registered. Thanks also to the kind souls here that have shared their track-building knowledge and created the tutorials I followed to make this thing.
And to recall last year's ice bucket challenge insanity, I call out US KRP'ers to come out and start creating some tracks, to deal with the dearth of American venues in the game.
Thanks again to my co-creator evolution-kart, and to Piboso for making such an awesome sim in the first place.
