What's the deal on this course, anyone know anything?

it is a small course that uses turn 8 to top of the hill portion of the north course, and the down hill and hairpin of the south course. The other parts of this course is all new. It is entirely surrounded inside of the full course, which probably means one group can be running the full course, while another running the patriot course inside the full course. I do not have a track diagram yet though... It is small and technicall, not too fast.

I'm guessing that the Patriot runs counter-clockwise.  Anybody know for sure?

I would guess it can be run either way. Being so short I don't think it will be used in a race, so its up to the trackday org's to decide which way to run. We will take a look on April 3-4 and see which way goes, maybe change direction for each day :) I don't see any real hazard that will prevent it being run clockwise, but we will see.

I'll be voting for counterclockwise so that I can finally get some use out of the left side of these tires I keep buying. ;D

Naturally, it would run counterclockwise. Up the north course part, down the south course part.  I'm not sure that it can be run clockwise b/c of runoff,etc. Also.. going UP the steep 'S' curves on the south course would be 'interesting'
