good write up and like Silv said, so long as you have a good time and it's "safe" it's a winner.

Were all the groups pretty open with lots of open track sat?

You going to be out there at the may date?

Yeah all the groups were pretty open with the "open" group being the biggest. I had no problems with traffic and lots of open track. They did have their race school going out in the open group but it was only 5 guys or so and they were either slow or not allowed to pass.

I'll definitely go to the Friday night in May but I'm on the fence about Sat. yet. I'll be going to Mid-O with NESBA the week before so we'll see. You guys able to come both days or just Sat? The crazy thing about Friday is its only $60 and you really get just as much track time as a regular day since there are no sessions. We were out there till 8:00 :shock: .

Yep it was still fun.

Here's the little slide, right around 1:08 I wave at the corner worker. I really thought the track was drying out.

And here's a few dry laps toward the end of Friday. Don't ask me what I'm doing with my shifting :headshake: . I'm still sort of putzing around at this point, I find it hard to keep pace without anyone to chase.

That looked like a pretty good slide! Nice save!

NJMP - Lightning has a very similar turn except it has better pavement and even more banking... :toocool: :boobies:

Yeah I love that turn for some reason...maybe because the second half is about the only smooth part on the track. And its long enough that you can really work on some things.

were hoping to be out both fri and sat but depends if I have class for work that week or the following should know next week if we can make it out Friday. But for 60 bucks you can't beat it
