    Default MSR 2nd track update

    ***** Second track update ******

    The motor grader was out this weekend to begin cutting the path for the
    second road course. Currently, the track is at 1.55 miles with a lot of
    elevation changes. The drainage culverts will begin to be installed
    next week. We are underway! Thanks to the "dirty dozen" - the 12 members who have put forth a simple interest loan in order to finance this expansion. The banks still can't understand this business model, the members certainly can.

    When the second track is complete, it will be both a stand-alone track
    with it's own pit road, or the connecting roads to the existing track will
    create approximately 3.2 miles of road course - one of the longest in North
    America. Even the pit roads will connect the two courses to create a
    much longer pit road.

    With the addition of a second track, members will have even more days of
    access to a road course, in addition to having even more weekend events
    and schools.

    Progress reports will continue to be given on the construction of the
    second track.

    Best regards,

    If I know Jack, the new course will be evil, twisty and FUN!!

    The combined course will be nothing short of Fnnn Amazing. I expect that I will be trying to catch my breath after 40 minutes on the combined course.

    It is gonna be a very difficult addition. There is one VERY off-camber right hander near the bottom of the hill that is gonna be......err.......interesting. The whole course is nothing but turns once you get out near 377, as it winds down the hill and back up. Jack has not replied to my request for a weekend for "Miatas at the Ranch IV", yet. Guess it's time to go knock on his door.....haven't seen Sharon and the kids for awhile anyway.
