Is that a another Alan Wilson designed track?

The pit in/out occurs in the middle of the turns just like NFMP, NPR and BeaveRun. That is the stupidest idea I have ever seen for M/C use. Anyone run SCCA or car races and know if that is something they want (and why?)or is this guy just making tracks that are not conducive to M/C races for a reason or does he really have no clue?

Not sure if it is a Wilson designed track, but I think that is the name that was thrown around early on.  There have been some redesigns to the track so the lay is a little bit different than what is show on the web site, but I am not sure if the pit entrance and exit are part of that.  For sure this is a SCCA track that was the whole point when they started building it.  So far the track owners have been extremely open to suggestions from the motorcycle community and have activly-sought input.  To tell you the truth at this point even with these issues it is the best track we have within 8 hours of Phoenix.  So I am just happy right now to see a track of this caliber in my back yard.
