Default Bluegrass Motorsports Park Road Race Phase I VIDEO in a Corvette.

This past weekend I had the pleasure of checking out the new Road Race course set up in the fine state of Kentucky. This place is Great! The video shows Phase I of the road race course. The first layer of pavement is down and they are well on the way to being open/ operational for the 2009 season. I am very happy to see such an incredible track being built right here in Kentucky. There are a few different tracks being built and will accommodate many different types of racing. The property itself is limitless in application. Big THUMBS UP for the designers of the Bluegrass Motor sports Park. This place is like a Racers Paradise.

Track has come along way in the last 30 days! Lot's of cool features, best of which it's close to home. Thanks for posting.

That last sweeping right hander reminds me of a larger version of the carousel at MidOhio.

Thanks for taking the time to post the video. I'm looking forward to next spring.

Saminator,
Sadly you or Len won't get a clear view of the course as you will be trying to look around my car the entire time.

I need a cage.....you do too.
