I will be stopping at the track on my way home from work. I will take pics of the new track and post them when I get to the house.
This track is super smooth and very fun. Gulf Coast Raceway has done one hell-of-a-job with it.

Thanks for helping out. It should be pointed out that there is still some cosmetic work to complete but the layout is likely to stay unchanged through the Worlds.

Roger,
Is the scoring for this event going to be Rocket round or Qual points? Just wondering because I won't be able to make it on Friday (due to work) but can make it for the weekend. If it goes by Qual points, it is no use for me to participate due to it being detrimental to my standings missing that Friday. Please advise.
