My son is standing looking over my shoulder and I just told him that little tidbit.

Photo looks like it was taken at the GM Proving Ground in Milford. There is a small storage lot in the interior of the circle track, between the city course and the short East/West Straightaway.

Since it is near "Hyne Rd" (which is a real local road that bisects the Proving Ground) is is known as "the Hyne Rd Pad".
