[Super Dave]

Temperatures for Road America:

In 2008

May 1 - 44/29
May 2 - 57/40
May 3 - 46/34

Just bring lots of clothes. 


As for Gateway and three days for drainage?  Does MAM ever drain?  I always looked for the lake front property.  LOL!

Yes, MAM is a swamp... however, not surrounded by walls.  The wet part doesn't bother me, the sliding in the wet while staring at a wall or stack of tires does.  Besides, who heck wants to ride around a track counter-backwards? 

Here's a good conspiracy theory. Its probably some conspiracy cooked up by Buell- they want it cool to keep cyl. head temps down at RA.  Ya! Its all buell's fault.

[gearhead]

Why do you suppose both MAM and Hastings have been eliminated from Mid-West and Mid-America's schedules?

Temperatures for Road America:

Notice the trend???   Global Cooling!!!
No record highs since the 1950's and all the cold records have occured since 1966. 

The ICE AGE is upon us!!!

Yep, Al Gore is right, global warming....

So this might be a dumb question but is there not going to be racing at MAM and Hastings this year? I hope that's not the case.

That's the way it looks.  CRA will probably race at Hastings.

[Jason748]

CRA... Not this year - and I can't see them ever running there.  I'm guessing you mean the CMRA?

[wirehairs2]

MRA will race one race at Hastings this year.

[Greg_Williams]

MRA will race one race at Hastings this year.

Sorry, meant MRA.  CRA seems to now be a one track org.

The farthest north CMRA goes is Hallett.  All of the other races are in the Dallas area.  Unfortunately, MSR Houston has been dropped for cost reasons and the surface is bad - another Autobahn story... 

Ran Oak Hill on the new R6 on Sat. with one SV guy - we had the track to ourselves.  Which was good and bad ... we couldn't ride real aggressively since there were no ambulances/corner workers but on the other hand we could go out when and how much we wanted.  It's a very tight, technical track with constant elevation changes - a total blast and safer than BHF other than you are miles from good med. care.

I love Oak Hill.  I did a couple endurance races there on a mini.  I don't see how some of those guys get around there as well as they do on the 1000's
