Turn 1 under the knife

I took that picture. Here's a better one. Note the cones laying out the chicanes. Few soft barriers were used because both cars and motorcycles were sharing the track for three days.

sweet take off on the top center...looks like it'll be a nice 70 ft. double jump once they put in the landing

Seth, your just one of the people/reasons they had 2 security people on for the last event. For some unknown reason, they don't trust us LRRS peeps.

It's not like we would have organized supermoto races or pit bike hill climbs.

That would never happen. The paddock is far to civilized for that kind of nonsense.

You can tell we lived and raced together for 5 years. That was my exact first thought

You're talking about your bike, I was talking about mine. How many motocross bikes you figure we could get up there for the weekend? Uh... to use as pit bikes, of course.

[seth399]

a full gate!...crap we need a starting gate

[Tricky Mike]

The guys in the trucks didn't seem interested in allowing my anywhere near the site on Noel's KTM anklebreaker. I wonder if they were expecting some bandito runs?

[Awesome]

Supermoto event for the loudon clasic event? No way, we can't have you tearing up any of the dirt. Who cares that it likely had the most spectators of any race in the 6 or 7 years I've been there.

Why did you two break up?

Another perfectly good thread gone NOEL ---> NOEL = GAY


sweet look to the track ----> the Hawk MIGHT get up to 125 with all that extra front straight.

might be a little more than 70ft.

Why does it sound like I'm gonna have to load up the 450 for this coming weekend too? Anybody got a CAT key? We could make it really fun with that 345 and the D5 they had there last race.

I was in contact with Wanda today. She said that Turn 1/1A isn't going to be ready for the LRRS event this weekend. Going into the Vintage Celebration, Jerry Wood came up to me and said that Eric already had a complete set of plans to convert NASCAR 1 and 2 into something that will be safe and fun.
Reaction to the chicane setup designed by Ed Valpey for the Vintage Celebration had a positive response from all that I talked to, even the guy who went into the event convinced that it would suck. That design was a compromise that was shared with the cars, Eric's setup should be better.
I think that those of you who came to the season opener six years ago felt the same way about the design Eric came up with back then. After getting over the initial shock of finding the NASCAR turns all torn up, quite a few commented after the event that it was an interesting variation to the same old track they always ran.
See y'all this weekend.

Sprocket swap time!



Thank you for the update.

[Fitz]

Appreciate the update. Will be neat to try something new.

Fitz

[seth399]

shit r dirtbikes still welcome. Aha

[a13x]

Jen's dad raced it last weekend with the Vintage gang and I guess everyone was really digging it (and again that setup had to work for cars too)

I'm all for trying a new setup! Plus these changes normally equal some tight chicanes which is a-okay for the little motard

[Fitz]

Penguin School should capitalize on this and offer a one day "learn the fast line in the new section" class on Friday. I'd be all over it.

Fitz

[palanon]

Well, since Eric is the one designing the new sections, I think your chances may be,,,,,,good.

[TheIglu]

Anyone got any pictures? I want to lust after some corners setup on the smooth Nascar oval!

Here's a video of the Vintage Celebration setup. Eric will be using much fewer cones and more soft barriers.
