MAM

[Spooner]

haha!  I think deuser is still the only person to red flag both the road course and drag strip at the same time!

Yeah, the runoff in T1 doesn't look quite as good when you can't stop...

[funsizeracing]

How do you manage that?

[Jeff]

They must have built the place on an Indian burial ground or something-

dude... you should read my race reports from the place.  I'm more than confident that it wants me dead. 

Last year we came to a brief understanding and it only came at 1 mechanical failure, but prior to that, it was russian roulette for me...

The last and only time I was there was in 2002 when CCS went there for the first time. It was dry and just  hot as all living hell. I recall the asphalt coming up quite a bit and they had to roll out the steam roller to pack it all back down. Regardless, I loved the the track. It's got alot of fun corners and tons of runoff room. Turn 1,2,3 kinda reminds me of blackhawk.

I dig MAM. Tons of runoff. I don't like the paddock, the fact that there is no elevation change, or that you can only watch from one place. But for safe, fun racing it is a 1000% better than blackhawk.

I hated the place. and I came to that conclusion even before I crashed, then crashed again. To me the track has no flow, everytime you get rolling and try to find your rythm you run into a poorly desinged corner that ruins momentum, the type of corner where your like ohh shit, I have to ride through this f'ing thing again. The grip is unbelievably bad in the wet, and it was very poor in the dry for me too, but the track was dirty and it was cold as balls so i cant say for sure on the dry, but the wet was as I said unbelievably bad. aside from that it is fairly safe, except exiting infront of the grandstands, the wall is fairly close, but what scared me was that if you ran off teh track and kept it on 2 wheels there was a wall that protruded torwards the chicane that would be really easy to whack. pit out is just rediculous, instead of running an extra 20 feet of concrete and dumping you out onto the front straight, they dump you right into the apex, sure you can stay wide of where the guy coming through should be, however when that squid is staring at you instead of his apex referance point you wont stand a snowballs chance in hell. the paddock is one of the worst I have seen, and I have spent alot of time at racetracks all over, but the showers were 1st class, and the batrooms very nice as well. I will most likely never go there again for the fun of it, only if it falls into the region I am racing, and even then I would consider skipping it, and I love riding in the rain  ::) . ohh, and I suggest going, everyone has there own opinion, I hate MAM and enjoy the flow of blackhawk, while timmah t. hates blackhawk and loves MAM, so to each their own.

[LMsports]

I don't mind the flow of Blackhawk as long as you stay on track. The problem with Blackhawk is that it "flows" right into tire walls and trees everywhere.

[G 97]

LOL!  Yeah, I just watched a webcast about the guy that took the picture. 

MAM?  Politics.  You can PM me if you'd like or email.

Will do.  I know it can't be anything to do with Milroy, he's a straight up guy.

as rob mentioned... tree's, walls, and really whats up with the 6inch tall 90deg curbing???

I imagine I could grow to like BFR, but its no fun getting your ass handed to you from the locals that race their 47-48 times a year. 

I think I dig MAM cause I have spent some time there.  traction is finicky based on weather, but the runoff is width of the track is an appealing factor.  Same with BFR though...locals do well there.  Well, and I'm slow.

Broken flow. Typical Alan Wilson track. As Ed Key says... "Who decided that every new race track in the U.S. has to be designed by Wilson!"

That said, I kinda like the place. It's a challenging, fun and mostly safe layout. Good mix of speed and technical sections. Just rough and tricky enough that you have to know what you're doing to go fast there.

Are you talking about outside T6?? You got it all wrong! That's not a curb, it's a BERM. Hit it wide open with both tires and it keeps you on the track.
No wonder the "locals" are owning you...
