Does putting the Xterra in place to take this picture mean I've watched too many episodes of Top Gear and the Grand Tour?

For those who've never watched Top Gear or Grand Tour, those guys could not drive past an abandoned air strip without stopping and having a little drag race. I didn't have anyone to race against. Good thing, probably.
This is the old air strip across US 395 from Manzanar. I was going to stop here when I drove past in July of last year, but it was filled with active firefighting aircraft at the time.
More pics from my recent 3-day trip to Lone Pine will follow shortly.
