Went out with the Nvr-e-nuf group yesterday. Running the 1.7 clockwise is a very different track. It took me a while but eventually figured it out. The biggist problem was staying out of the way of all the very fast cars. The weather was great and an unexpected day at the track was a Christmas treat.
I prefer MSR CW to CCW actually...
CW or CCW, I don't care I really like MSR.
Going CW I leave time going into Ricochet. The uphill is tough to nail with max speed.
turn in earlier. oh... you need awd for that ;)
1.7 CW is alot more fun, imo. I've really been wanting to run it again with my own car.
It's too bad that the 1.3 is so dangerous CW. i really want to check it out.
Yeah, CW blows away CCW. :burnrubr: Loading up for 11-seconds in the triple-apex is awesome.Quote:

I'm with Ken on MSR - 1.7 CW, 1.7 CCW, 1.3 CCW, 3.1... I don't really care, I just prefer MSR to ECR in general. :wink:
can anyone in cahoots with jack pitch the idea of the $150 track days like ECR does? no lead follows though. Lead follows suck.
I doubt that will ever happen. Apex is based at MSR, and it would impact Apex's business. It would also further impact track availability for the members, and that isn't going to happen.
FYI - Apex is only $175 for advanced students. Something tells me you can cough up an extra $25, Mr. Corn Gas. :wink: Besides, Apex offers much better organized events, imho. I instruct for both Apex and ECR, and I'd much rather run at Apex as a student.
Oh, and you can go off at 80+mph and coast for about 200' in buzzard neck and live to tell about it. I recomend a roll of charminfor this activity.
Running the 1.3 CW was a kick. But I can see how dangerous it would be.
I'm still in blue :(Quote:
