From the Oct. 21 Journal Sentinel: "The Milwaukee chapter of the Porsche Club of America is the first to rent the infield road course of the Milwaukee Mile, using it from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. Management hopes the rebuilt track can be a significant contributor to its bottom line."
Has anyone seen the new road course? Is is suitable for CCS racing?
More on the Badger Kart club using the roadcourse, including a description of the course. http://www.milwaukeemile.com/media/2004/09_06_2004_badger_karting.html
Hey Paul - missed that item in the Journal. Pretty cool, eh?!!
36' - how wide is BFR? Guess that's not too bad for bikes. Imagine that - a CCS race right in our own backyard.
CCS raced on the Milwaukee Mile road course in 1988. Pretty much ended up being a race between hay bales.
Remember, you're inside a shallow oval. At least a banked oval gives you some up hill space to keep you off the walls.
Would you really want to eliminate a race at a real road course like BFR to race inside that shallow oval?

This is the reason I don't go to Gateway anymore... Walls are great for cars. Not so great for bikes.
I believe that Milwaukee was much worse.
I like the Gateway layout.
I like the Gateway layout too. I wouldn't trade a BFR weekend for an oval infield, but I'd love a few more race weekends closer to home...
Tom, not sure how wide BFR is, but I would think 36' wide would be plenty for motorcycles.
I haven't seen the new layout yet. I know the way it was run before it was terrible. There are a ton of light/power poles in there, some buildings and lots of fences so putting a track through there could be interesting.
I'll hold judgement until I see it but I would think there would be lots of hard objects in the way.
Didn't some squid on a Harley hit the wall out there during some H-D promotion track ride during the 100th?
