the rumble strips are a blast. the slower you go the worse they are. hit them pinned and you just skip right across them like Bubba Stewart.....but if you get a little crossed up your screwed.... after a couple sessions of 1/8th scale practice they will mellow out.
its my favorite part of the track, the cars look so cool skipping across them only to have to slow for the roller and 180

track closed !!!!!!!
Just to clarify, Monty told me the track will be closed until the friday of the N.C.T. race.
Although it may look ready, they still have work to be done before it can be opened for use, So I would not plan a practice day until july 8th.
Just thought I would let everyone know so nobody drives 2 hours only to find out they haven't opened it to the public just yet !!!!!!!!!!!!
And the lanes are mostly 12' to 14' maybe 11' in a couple spots, lots of room to roam, looks like it will flow nice,has a couple of option lines in the jump section. It will be interesting to see who chooses big and bold ????? or short and safe ??? and more elevation has been added also.
See ya there......

I'm really looking forward to this race.Since I missed Friday practice in Spokane, how are you guys handling that these days? Still using the punch card? How many per class and how long? Thanks
