    FYI

    I just learned that the infield construction has started at NHMS. I'll need to find a new pond for the haddock! No details, but there will be some sort of chicane in the Turn 1-1A area during all of this.

    No idea. I'm just giving the heads up because there was the possibility that it wasn't happening until after the first LRRS event.
    Bob Perkins just posted at NEAR that there's Jersey barriers across 1A.

    Oh well. Damn aliens would have stolen them anyways. They're raising hell with the gnomes.

    I vote a jump over the jersey barriers.

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    Re: FYI

    Six years ago, they used the soft barriers to mark off the chicane, think along the lines of the setup when the jump was at start/finish for the real Motard race.

    ...the man does not lie.

    Take what you know from trackdays and pretty much toss it.....other than the basic layout, of course.
