I voted in the poll, although for me it doesn't matter, I can't seem to find my way around this track quickly! But I still have fun out there!

I'm like Zoolander, except I can't turn right. Running it counter is all that can help me.

Although my preference is for the full course, I will not pass up an opportunity to ride that sweet, sweet as-phalt. (That is, unless both the west and north wings were trimmed off :lol: ) I will be there.

Was there a reason for the short course to begin with other than "something different"? Just trying to run fewer workers or something?
IMO we bought a whole track, let's use the whole track.

Same reason we ran Second Creek backwards... because we could. The turn 8 ~ Corkscrew transition would have been fun!Originally Posted by rforsythe

It may be a moot point now. Yesterday a car lost a motor coming out of T8, and punched holes in the oil pan. He didn't put much oil on the track but he pulled into the crossover and parked...and drained about 5 quarts of oil. We didn't realize what was happening under the car so the oil sat there and soaked in for the rest of the session before we moved the car and started cleaning.
My worry at this point is that every day when it gets hot (for a while) we'll have that oil cooking up out of the pavement, and it's in a pretty bad spot (in the line, just before the transition from the crossover to the outside of what is normally turn 13). I'll keep an eye on it.

You begin your racing career with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.
:shock: :shock: WTF, don't the cars have to run Belly Pans like the bikes? :lol:
Sounds like the overwhelming majority wanted full course anyway.

the reason i heard for why cannot run backwards is the run off at the end of the backwards strait has a wall and the walls where we enter the trackOriginally Posted by TRK

After running through that cars oil even after it was cleaned numerous times, I can safely say that I would be officially freakled out to have to race through it. I'm more than pleased to again be racing (hopefully) the full course. Maybe next time we can get the blown up car to pick a better place to park like maybe NEXT TO THE TRACK not on it.

What you rode through was nothing, this has happened since the last motorcycle day and is MUCH worse.
We cannot run HPR backwards for a couple reasons. The most serious is that there is insufficient runoff outside turn 11 and turn 7 for the speeds we would attain. Turn 3 would be sketchy as well. Since the course wasn't designed to be run backwards, the corner worker stations were placed without concern for running backwards. Turns 1, 3, 4, 7, 10 and 11 all have stations that are in bad places for running backwards.

Full course is sweet and is how i voted but the short course would be fun to try sometime.

We just rode the full course for the STAR school and the track condition was excellent. Looking forward to racing it next week.
