they closed the track in july/august and did a lot of work on the long straight (where most of the bumpiness was). It's a lot smoother (but a bit slicker IMO) than it was before... except at the beginning of the straight. There's a bump there.
They also cleaned up turn 1 and 2, which used to be like moguls.

It's always pandemonium on the track when you're around Trey.
I sent Maggie an email asking for a rough headcount for each day.

No, it just drags parts along the track making sparks. The parts don't actually fall off.
Here's an excerpt from the instructor email I just received:
we have over 50 cars for both Saturday and Sunday. After reviewing the participant list we are going to run two car groups, one for the first time participants, those that have never driven ECR and a group for those that have experience at ECR. We will start the day off with lead follow for the first time drivers then move to those with experience using both lead follow and in car instruction for those that request. Bikes will run next in the rotation and sessions will be 20 minutes for all groups. We will not allow any passengers in guest cars other than instructors and we have moved the first instructor session prior to lunch.
