I plan on going 35mph all day, both days, with my left turn signal on the whole time.

In case you registered by mail and didn't follow the link above, here's the track layout (CCW):
http://www.motorsportranch.com/1.7-road-course.cfm

Here's some YAUDI video I dug up (watch out if you're searching for video, there's more than one track configuration):


And here's some more of someone else:

Not much for elevation changes, but there sure is a lot of run-off area

I think those with stock sprung Elise's are going to have thier hands full thru that section with the quick left, right, left transition. Those turns will demand ultra smooth input to keep the chassis from getting angry.

I'm not 100% on that, but it looks like that's how it's listed on MSR's calendar: 1.7 CCW.


Good for me though. I've only ever run it CCW, and on two wheels - unless you count the pickups.


I wish the new section was included - nice elevation changes and no real time to rest between turns.

I just wtched the "someone elses" video. Phew
Hope no one uses that guys lines, otherwise they'll be running alot under yellow.

Now, with that said I had best start planning my re-entry points from out of the grass

Scott,
I do not have a copy of your entry form yet. I emailed Cora to see if she has it up there. I'll let you know as soon as I hear.

Wish I could join you guys for LOG and the two track days, but I've got the "daily double."

The week before LOG, my mother in law is scheduled for surgery. The week of LOG, my mother is scheduled for sugery.

October will be a fun month...not.
