Yeah, I understand. I stay away during certain rallys and bear hunting season, I choose my times that are better for traffic, but I still cross the double yellow. It would get boring quick if I didn't.

8am to 8pm on the NC side only. It's pretty much a closed course track with 2 highway patrols to watch out for.

Who does this? What basic thought process mechanism is absent in such people?

There are more than one jackass crossing over the double-yellow in that video.
