I now have reasonably strong evidence to believe (less Isoscopic analysis) it is a material called "Bituthene" or "Bitumen", a tar-like material in sheet form bonded to the structure to deaden sound. It can be readily had by substituting a roofing barrier material for protection from Ice and Snow. It is essentially the same material. and it even comes with the adhesive backing already on it.
It is available in roofing supply stores. It probably won't help your 1/4 mile times, but is will cut down on vibration and noise.
