They will not, think Second Creek open test-and-tune day model. You will have garages though.

Hmm, no EMT's on site...I have never ridden PPIR and kind of have a mental block about it anyways due to the walls and the stories I have heard. Debating if I just try to learn the track the day before the races or try to do one of these days.

With no EMT, just be sure you are not riding at 100%. Of course shit can always happen so there is a risk.

I used to ride Pueblo when they didn't have ANYONE out there. No corner workers, EMTs, etc. The problem with that track is there are turns not visible from the pits. My buddy got stuck at the bottom of T5 for some time before we realized he was down.

So, if you go ride smart and be careful. Its a great track and lots of fun. If you decide to wait til the race weekend, track me down and I can help you out with the lines. Its a pretty simple track compared to HPR.

The new road course is on hold pending $$ to build it. They have an area graded and the layout is pretty cool, but I'm not sure it will be built for a couple of years. They presently have no timeline for the project.

Oh I got more lucky than people will know about as a result of playing chicken with the wall, which I lost........... or did I win? :wink:

But no, hitting the wall in T1 at PPIR at over 120mph isnt something I would suggest doing, most people just turn when they get to a corner :lol:

We all know that Clarkie is really fast.
But, what is now apparent is that he never rode faster than his guardian angel could fly.
