Some years the snow they plow off the track is melting and running all over the track and making ice which is exciting. Flip that coin Steve!

Last year I think everyone got a refund!

Is it always in that condition or is it the time of the year?

I am not joking. THe track is already slippery dry. If you have ANY moisture on it, it is almost undriveable. I remember running a session in the rain there, I couldnt go over 50mph down the straight. On the way home in the same rain, I could do 70mph on the interstate

Just be careful and don't drive over your head, you will do just fine.

With all of the issues asociated with LRP, why not come to NHMS or WGI instead? It is like comparing a Motel 6 to the Ritz-Carlton and the Ritz is cheaper and a full day!

Well, LRP is now $75/hour plus towing and per diem. NHMS is about $29/hour. You can buy alot of fuel for that...
