According to Eric Kelcher it will be runnig the other way around, but don't take my word for it.

i rode it the way tpm set the track up... it is just not the best designed track... the way tpm ran it makes it a lot safer then running it the opposite way they ran it.

I dont think you have to worry about yourself...just some hothead out there pushing to hard for no reason at all.  :-/ I wonder how many people in CCS have run that track...who is going in there that will be fast as hell from the start of the weekend?? I bet the lap times are going to be all over the place! :o

YEP...hopefully everyone will ride with some common sense.  I wonder where we would all pit, since the paddock is the size of little league ball field.  I have ridden it in two different configurations and was NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL!!  seriously, I hope CCS and WERA both make the right descisions.

As I understand it noone has ridden the race configuration since the changes were made to the track layout. See the other post as Kevin is/was looking for riders to evaluate the track as it is configured now; I think the practice is either this week or next.

Don't have to worry about me I'll be right there right up front with yah. ;) Just hope everyone is smart about the decissions they make out there.

running that track the opposite way that tpm ran it is a terrible idea. the walls are way closer running taht way and the speed is faster

Okay I got myself confused on the direction with different layouts. sorry.

Well if the walls are that close maybe more people should have enough sense not to ride on that track.
I for one will not be even doing a track day at that track until they move the walls about 100 yards back. I get a kick out of the fact that MotoGP Riders don't feel safe at Laguna Seca due to the proximity of the walls and people are even considering racing/ riding at this Shendanhoa Circuit.

I would feel safer riding on the street.
