Woo! Very glad to hear! Hope to get on it for first time before it closes. I thought for certain I'd missed my chance.

Hopefully some HPDE events get scheduled there here soon. It's only about an hour from where I live, which is perfect.

Yeah, It's sketchy as hell and you lose 5ft of track at turn in for 6, but yes they are supposed to be fixing it this week

got the email too. yeah the sink hole at 6 was really bad. right at your turn in point.
at first they only had 3 cones covering about half of it. i was getting as close to the cones as i could running over the ditch, and it was crazy violent. i was affraid it was gonna shatter the Konis.
Later in the day with 10 cones they completely blocked it off. made entry way harder and therefore exit much slower. its amazing the difference 2' of track can make.

I'll be there with Chin Motorsports June 25 & 26. They were assured it would be fixed by then. Fingers crossed.
