ive done close to 10 track days on both tracks. most people i talk to like lightning better. the bridge does look like a bad spot but thunderbolt has just as bad a spot. the long right turn that tightens up on itself ruins the flow of the track. even worse if you go off the outside where it gets real tight it sends you back on track on the 180deg left. hoping they put in some gravel or something to slow the bikes down. its just asking to get someone t-boned

I like the long right hander.  If somone goes off near that bridge it's going to be bad.  It's a major passing area.  It isn't always your fault too.,

How about a left hand corner on the track?

The right side of my tire complained all weekend and the left side felt left out of the party :)

Russ, the left sides of your tires actually came over and hung out with me in the pits.  Good guys!  Russ, Thunderbolt is the same; 3 left turns if you run the 2nd chicane.

My vote is for Lightning if we have to choose only one.  Maybe we could go to both?

Better than coming to see you on the outside of turn 5...

How you doing anyway? I heard about the hand, you done for the season?

I'm not a big fan of Thunderbolt, but if CCS could run two events next year (one on each track), I'd pre-register today.  :biggrin:

In regards to bridges, I think the Thunderbolt bridge is far more dangerous. And someone HAS hit that already, unlike the Lightning bridge.

I personally hate bumpy tracks, and both of NJMP's are baby smooth!

PA system around the whole paddock.   More Porta-johns.  Shower facilities in walking distance.  Better spectator areas accessible form the paddock (although I heard just outside the bulb on the straight was good)

Kinda already addressed but move finish line back...

And a big one is: Keep the gates open later!!!   The guards told me @10:05 I couldn't come in per CCS rules.  Guards are there all night but CCS wanted everone to register there.  A little extra camping and now you're shelling out $75 for a hotel.  Move registration to the classroom to accomadate.

Build some friggin' shade!

I'm REALLY disappointed that my season is over!!!  I finally felt good on the bike (my undersized testicles had been a problem this year) and thought I was running pretty well Saturday morning.  A little too well I guess!  Oh well, I'm already planning out stuff for next year, and I will be at Summit to hang out and snag some bodywork from your dad (GREAT guy by the way!  He thinks the world of you dude!) so I'll see everybody there with my awesome blue cast!
