Anybody know the length of the Las Vegas Classic?

The ccs link doesn't work, and the official Las Vegas Motorspeedway denies its existence!  Thanks... :)

I heard 2.2 miles, but not 100% sure...

Thanks...I found a reference that states 2.25 and another that states 2.5 miles.  I am just surprised that the Las Vegas Motorspeedway web site doesn't even mention that there is a road course. :-/

The CCS lap time sheets listed the length as 2.00 miles, and that's what the average speeds were based on, but that dosen't mean I'll put any faith in it.

The map on Las Vegas Speedways webpage, http://www.lvms.com, says it's 1.8 miles. I think that 1.8 is pretty close just based on laptimes. :)

I think you are quoting the course on the inside of the motorspeedway as it is less than 2 miles.  The outside (classic) road course is definately more than 2 miles long.  Thanks... ;D

Nope, I'm quoting the facility map on their website - like I said. :)
But, to save you the trouble of looking:

...wether or not the map is accurate is up for grabs. :)

Thanks, Rick...great map! ;D

It's amazing how long the course seems when you're riding your scooter around it looking for your transponder in the dirt. :-/

The Freddie Spencer school, which uses both the inside course and the Classic road course, always quotes the inside course at 1.1 miles and the outside Classic Course that we raced on at 2.2 miles.

That map looks out of date.  Notice how the final two turns leading onto the front straight are missing.  Perhaps it was 1.8 before it was reconfigured?

Hey, now that you mention it, it does seem to e missing a couple of corners.  :'(
