Any word on BHF improvements with new owner's??

I felt alot more comfortable about t-2 once I actually walked the track,and looked at every corner,backward's,once I walked through it.I noticed that after I walked through t-2 and turned around and looked at the corner backward's,beetween t-2 and t-3,it looked completely different.Comming into the corner,you see the armco and you think if you fall,you'll go right into it.Looking at it backward's,it's different,and seem's to be kind of an illusion,and from that viewpoint,it look's like the odd's of hitting that drop dramatically,and made me ALOT more comfortable going through there at speed,just a thought.

What wall outside T2?  If you hit that you really screwed up!

If you crash mid corner you will hit that wall. Ask Nate Doebert, he hit it in 06 and got really messed up. Never raced again.
The reason 2 is scary is that it's so fast. It's not like a bus stop where you just slide off the track. That thing is fourth gear wide open with nothing but grass to slow you down before impact. It's even worse in the wet.

Well,if anything,it would sure be nice to see at least see air-fence there,I'm sure to take out the barrier and move everything back,alot of those tree's would have to go,I wonder what they are thinking and how much they are willing to spend.Let's face it,motorcycle's,between the track day org's and CCS,bring in a hell of alot of revenue.

No, I've highsided at the apex of two.  You don't make three or the wall.

maybe you weren't going fast enough 


all I remember was air, ground, air, ground, visor flipped open, shoveled in dirt, why haven't i hit the wall yet, I should be dead...  ouch my leg feels like it's broken, but I'm alive    wooohooo, just a hyper extended leg and we made it parrallel to the wall in T2.

Would you like some cheese with that whine? Blackhawk is great now, you should have seen it 25 years ago!!!

Exactly 7 trees would have to go to fix turn 2. I've looked it over several times. Remove those trees and straighten the guard rail to run straight at T3. You get a ton of run off room.

Grattan is no Taj Mahal either... but there's still a certain amount of charm to the craptastic pavement, hideous facilities and lack of amenities. BHF was the first track I've ever ridden on, so with all its "character" it still has a warm place in my heart. New toilets would be the awesomeness though.
