yeah, the new section is supposed to be real fun, but SCCA has some "issues" with a few corners. It guess it would be real easy for an out of control vehicle to make it to cross over to another portion of the track.

I kinda expect a tire wall or two to go up in the near future, nothing too serious, to gain SCCA approval.

I am, because driver skills don't mean anything!! It's all about the car. And I are the fastest race car!

i dont really see it, all the parts of the track that are close together are right by slow corners, but u never know. a few tirewalls would solve the problem.



EDIT: i see one really bad spot. yikes, yeah they gotta fix that.

Yeah, I think the main complaint was that middle bit where the new track comes back to hit the old track.

Its downhill and banked. Looks like a fun corner, but too much speed and you could end up on the front straight.

Yikes! They definitely need to put up a wall or something in at least one place.

bout 30 mins east of Reno. They have HPDE and driving schools all the time. There used to be a few races out there too (USTCC came once).

Its usually rented out to groups, and rarely open for anyone to just 'stop on by' but find a trackmasters, unlimited laps, etc... they will have one or two next year.

Maybe next week? I'm gonna miss tomorrow. I'm thinking about heading up there Sunday (if I don't get off work too late tomorrow night) or Monday morning after class. I REALLY want to go ride, I'm dissapointed that I can't go tomorrow

Just got back from street racing on Sunrise and noticed some type of police checkpoint on the northbound side before Cirby. Dunno if it's a DUI checkpoint or a mod checkpoint.
