Looking at the Heartland Park maps, which layout will be used for March 28? 1.3 Club Course, 2.0 Nascar A, 2.1 Nascar B, 1.8 Full Nascar, 2.5 GP? BTW- it's 8 degrees there today, yikes.

THen again, might be the last year racing bikes. Probably do track days only in 05 and go back to open wheel racing in 06.
According to the Weather Channel today it's supposed to reach about 50* in Topeka by mid week. :)
It was the 2.1 mile course the last time we were there.
2.1 mile course, new section with "FAST" kink in it, improved run-off almost everywhere.

hey Mike what gearing do use at heartland
Quotehey Mike what gearing do use at heartland
If I remember correctly, off the top of my head, I use -1 Front and +3 Rear, similar to BHF gearing. The track should have slightly less top speed now with the new main straight (if you call it that?) having that chicane, and I imagine first turn corner speeds are going to be significantly lower than before, so that will effect top speed also. I think that gearing would still be a good place to start though.
Right now (Sunday at 1pm) it's 61* in Topeka, and with 5 weeks left I think were going to have a decent weather 1st event! :)
