Is ths Heaven?::Angel::
Hey! That looks kewl. I don't have access to photochop at the office, so I just sent the raw picture. I'll try and do better on the other twenty or thirty that I took :) The tie-in sections are also 39' wide. It's just an optical illusion, as are several areas on the course. It is all 3x13' passes with the blacktop machine. :drive:Quote:

I tried to get Jack to adopt me, but he said it wouldn't work since I was older than him. Then, I thought, perhaps I should knock him off and marry Sharon...........who says there's no heaven on earth :) Kidding, of course Jack! :clap: :clap:Quote:

If we have any luck, some of the elevation changes might get us airborn - I wanna go streets of San Fancisco on this thing.
Also, there needs to be a better name for these tracks. #1, #2, East, West lacks any character.
How about......
"Cyclone" for the new track.
Don't you have to be south of the equator to have a cyclone? I actually don't know what the naming conventions will be. Whatever Jack wants, I suppose :)Quote:

Only thing he said was that downhill run after the pit on might be called "pipeline" since they hit a bunch of pipes when grading the terrain.
The uphill corner (signature turn) should be named something special :)
When its all hooked together it should be a little over 3 minutes long for a street prep Miata. With lots of diiferent things coming at yah over the 3 plus miles of track :burnrubr:
I got to see the track in person last week and can verify that the picture does not do the elevation changes justice. It looks very fun. I hope that I will ge to try it out some time in the near future. One thing I did find out about is that there will most likely be bariers put up around the track at certain curves.
Very nice!
So Merv, when are we having that track day again? :wink:
More pictures
more
Those first two pictures let you see some of that elevation. The new track looks wicked cool and much more challenging than the 1st track.
Thanks for the pictures Merv. :burnrubr:
I believe it might be time to start kissing some member ass to get some guest time on the new track.
I'm waiting......
::Bum::

I wonder if the pits are going to meet the requirements to hold some larger sanctioned events. Would be nice to see something like the Speed challenge series or SCCA runoffs local. If only he could build a crap load of seating...maybe get the ALMS to come back to Texas!
Never happen. That's not what MSR is all about..............it's a place to play with your toys :clap: :clap: :clap:Quote:

That is going to be one tight small course! ::Flag:: :drive: ::Flag::
I predict it won't be to popular with the Vettes, Vipers and other heavy, high HP cars but should be fun, challenging and and even a bit scary for the Miatas, Shifter Carts, Motorcycles and other light and nimble vehicles.
I wonder what an average track time will be compared to Track 1?
:drool: I can't waiT!!!!!! Gonna be fun. :drive: ::Flag::
