The BlackStorm Motorsports Proving Grounds (abbreviated as the BSM Proving Grounds) is a private multipurpose motorsports complex located in Boise, Idaho that is owned by the BlackStorm Motorsports racing team for development and testing purposes. It originally opened in March 2020.
History
Construction on the track began in 2018 shortly after the main BlackStorm Motorsports Campus opened for use. The track was considered to be phase two of the construction. It opened in March 2020 with a small public celebration including hot laps by all four BlackStorm Motorsports drivers.
Layouts
The track is on the 88-acre BlackStorm Motorsports Campus and has been used for testing since March 2020. The track's main route was designed by famed track designer Jean-Claude Adnet, the same architect who designed the new Tampa Bay Raceways. Originally the track was planned to be 1.55 miles (2.495 km) long but was shortened due to the lack of space.
The course starts on the start/finish straight known as "Silicon Straight," named for the public street that runs directly parallel. The first bend is a quick left hander that leads into a long, flowing 90° right-hander that leads into the "Carousel" consisting of turns 4 and 5. The "Idaho Horseshoe" makes up turns 6 and 7 leading into the very short "Technology Straight" (named for Technology Way).Turns 8-10 comprise the "Esses" section of the course and leads directly into the 90° right-hander "Micron Corner" (named for Micron Mask Technology Center located outside the corner) that exits onto the pit straight.
