Some people already sound Institutionalized.

There is a longtime Loudon theory that floats around how many really fast Expert/Amateur LRRS riders can ride around Loudon with their eyes closed.... and they suck ass when they go somewhere else.

I don't want to be that guy. Bring on the changes. I'd run it backwards if I could.

This is a really good point. I was surprised at the number of Ex & Am guys that just couldn't figure it out. It really showed who's fast because they are fast....and who goes fast via route memory.

I agree with Paul, the chicane is real micky mouse and would need better pavement in order to work correctly. I had a wanker cut the curb (for no good reason...) kick a rock up and hit me in the facesheild. But, if the pavement and the chicane are done properly, I'm all for it... I think it should not even be announced ahead of time, you show up Fri/Sat to find a new layout.

One of the great things about the old track was it could be run forwards and backwards. Mixing it up during the year gave you a great opportunity to learn how to approach other tracks. But alas the new layout just works in one direction. But hell, at least we have a track nearby. Time to load up the truck and take in some events at Beaver Run, Pocono and VIR.
