Hit 150+ on the front straight...It's an awesome track for very little cost...about $160 for the whole day and includes lunch!

I was thinking about it but I may have to push for the March 10th date instead.

BTW Ive only been on the big track with motorcycles through a different organization. Do you have timing devices availible?

OTR doesnt use AMB.

if that white with orange nose Crossle (older open wheel car) is out there on a regular basis, I feel sorry for anyone who has to share the track with him...scary, scary driver and not fast (car is front runner capable in its class, driver is no where near).

this was before he got it painted

this video at 1:40:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QqSl...eature=related

and this video at 3:39:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWvEoPSVcZo

what you don't see in the first video is him moving to block me as he lifted to let me go by, if i hadn't jerked over like i did he would have taken me out hitting me mid car and probably causing me to go air born from rolling over his wheel from the speed differential. both these videos were in february, shortly after the picture above was taken. Some people should get more seat time before they get into competitive wheel to wheel racing because they don't catch on as fast







Sorry to have hi-jacked the thread, I saw photos of some of the better racers in the vintage series (HSR and VARA) on the site and I'm sure there are a lot of other good/great/safe drivers there and I hope you have fun time, I too will be racing 3 days later
